I don't know if it will help, but it is apprently becoming common to use a

Chevy truck MC on early Panteras when the original gives up the ghost.  I

think the only problem is a 3-bolt vs 4-bolt attachment to the

(non)firewall.  I have no idea how the Goose setup would differ though.

I too am curious about these.  I like the concept of direct-acting force,

and the ads claim to get more throw than via traditional means.  I'm

wondering how they measure up in the real world.
