How did you fit a 9 inch center? Is there a kit you can buy?

It's done. After to many years of dreaming. I've bought a Cobra. It feels better then getting married. {glad the wife doesn't read this,lol].
I couldn't pass this one up.

Think about the auto though - less desirable IMO if you ever want to sell.

Your right. I'll make it a manual. I'm not going to use the 351 anyway. Talked to my engine guy, he said too heavy and wide. So it'll be a 302 windsor. What is a good manual, toploader?
Thanks again guys for helping me out. Guess I'll be here for a while getting advice on the build.
Now I got to get it from Penrith back to Adelaide somehow. What would a trucking company charge? If it comes to worse, I'll have to drive there.

Trucking quotes from Melbourne to Sydney when i got mine were around $800. The road trip is fun and it is great looking in the rearview mirror and seeing it sitting there on the way home.

True true. Best quote for nonn driving vehicle is $910. but it needs brakes. to 1700 but will take 3 weeks. I think it's best to pick it up. Would it be best to cover it? It'll be behind a van, so out of the wind anyway. And it'll be nice to hand over the cash personally. The guy will be in tears, I reckon.

Congrats Jaydee!
Go with a Toploader! Incidentally, there's not much difference in size from a 351W (deck height around 9.5") to a 302 (around 8.2")
