Hi Dean,
Congratulations on the new car, how about some pictures of your new toy?
I also have an RMC, mine has a 302 Windsor from an AU. If your XR8 engine has the wiring harness and the engine management computer then you will be OK as it is not too hard to overcome the security in the earlier Ford ECU's. If you don't have the ECU then there are several local companies that manufacture ECU's that will work with your engine and most of them will be able to wire it in. There is not too much to do to modify the current RMC wiring to work with a later engine, most of us mount the ECU inside the passenger footwell at the top. If your original engine was from the US you will find that the starter motor in the XR8 engine is now on the passenger side so you will have to extend that wiring as well.
Good luck, I am sure there are plently of people in Melbourne that will be able to assist you.
Cheers
Ross
