Looking good.

That's a monster of a motor. Have they cut and shut the manifold to put the T/B at the front? Clean job if they have.

It looks like the body went on after the engine went in. How do you reckon you will go getting the engine in and out with the body on?

Cheers

It is looking good. The mod to the plenum looks good.
The dash layout in your gallery shows the Falcon instrument panel, so looks as though you will be using the Falcon wiring harness and the array of modules (engine, ABS, BEM, air con, air bag etc)found in the Falcon as well as the pedal box.
Will it be Manual or Auto?

Mike - yes the body went on after the engine and g/box was installed, Yes it is tight but gentle coaxing coud see the engine out the hole.
Intake plenum is a cut and shut job to relocate the throttle body.

Warren - yes I will use as much BA/BF Falcon as possible. The peddle box is Kenmer with the Falcon accelerator pedal. I am running an auto with my car.
The diff also will be BA/BF
The dash when finished will be grey/charcoal leather with a polished timber section around the instument cluster ,radio, and switches.

cheers
Doug
