The Aussie rules and regulations put the brakes on some of our desires as far as engines go.
I wanted the ENGINE to be a 427....rather than the BADGE on the side of the car, so went the LS7 "route".
Should do the job !

That's cool...I've got a foot in each camp anyway...a 347 Windsor in the Red Racer also "does the job ".

Pure Art .
It is just a great thing to watch something so beautiful come from a block of alloy.Just love cnc machines.
My new engine is only 5ltrs but has 12 cylinders and its all alloy too.

Yep but not for long.
Well everything from the lower manifold up is junk and a new single t/body with internal ram tubes will fitted on top.
and maybe a couple of turbos.
Is that yours or just a pic of one??

Not mine, just a picture of one that is for sale in the US.
It should have an unique sound, turbo'd or not. When is its debut. |

Got word from David K, These Billet Blocks are currently still in prototype stage... They are anticipating around $5K USD for the Block.
All things being equal, that puts it in between the Pond block & the Shelby block.
For mine, that's a good spend if you've got a Kirkham to put it in!

Yeah the first block is currently at Keith Craft. He is going to build a full engine using that block and run it for a while from what I understand.
I saw the original two wooden blocks, pretty neat. |

Very cool.....
I know brushed finish is a nightmare to maintain , the guy i bought my car off [ Otomix -Ray] had/owned the polished car that BLEW the doors off the Ferrari, that would be even worse !!
SS chassis is pretty funky to look at and the 427 FE Shelby is pretty scary, given that the car is a piece of art , i would get the guys to do as much as possible in the states.
Efi is way cool also.
Looking forward to seeing another piece of art driving around.
Soul.

Nice ride Merv,
I remember when this car was for sale years ago at Shannons auctions in Melb.
If I recall corretly, it was up for auction again in July 2010 at Shanons but in Sydney and was passed in.
I think this car would make a great base for anyone wanting to redo a robnell to steph greco specs. I certainly have considered this.

Given its NSW rego it would be an excellent buy for someone there with present difficulties in that state with engineering ADRs and registration. It would certainly hold it's value b
