Thanks for the warm welcome fellas, much appreciated.
Bryan, yep spot on.
Nodoubt that when i get my kit finished it'll be one of the proudest moments in my life, probably comparable to the birth of my daughter.

Now i just hope there are no delays in getting it home, have spent many hours already prepping the work space in the shed.Come to think of it, its like having a baby all over again

.
750hp; thanks mate. Yes i see what you mean about the screen, there's not much to it at all, nicely made though, even has the aus safty std logo and is laminated, hope it lasts forever.

There are plans to fit a blower further down the track once she's registered, i havn't looked into this yet and may need some guidence in this area as i havn't had much to do with them and there are so many to choose from these days.
Rebel1; G'day
Well actually NO!
The original plan was to fit a 454BBC that i'm building at the moment but Laurie reckons i'll never get it registered so i'm following his advice and going with a Gen111 for now for ease.
Fitting a Ford would be nice for originality but its all extra expence.
When the time arrives i'll look into it further. Need to speak to Vicroads first as i belive there are going to be more changes in 2005 that will outlaw import engines

(correct me if i'm wrong).I'm really hopeing to have her registered by this time next year if not sooner.
Cheers all
