G'Day Bernie,
Thanks for the vicroads info, i checked their website and couldn't find anything relevent so I'll give Doug a call, hopefully someone there can shed some light on the subject.
Hmm, $4500 sounds reasonable for a 302 and trans, any idea where it was purchased?
Yes Laurie seems pretty switched on when it comes to Fords and id love to have him build me a blown and stroked 351, he's asking for 10k which is pretty fair for a 600hp motor thats extreamly tame on the street,untill u mash it of course
Bernie it was a perfect sunny Melbourne morning, i could of gone around the block all day long

alas we only did a lap each and that was in top gear as his auto wouldn't shift down and the thing still broke traction at will.Yep an amazing engine!
I won't be making a decision on an engine for quite some time yet or atleast untill i speak with vicroads so we'll have to wait and see what the future holds.
Rebel1, There is hope!
Cheers all Robo
