Default Gavin?

Gee you Ford Guys are Funny, for a moment I thought I'd logged onto the "Melbourne Comedy Festival" web site by mistake, The problem with the Ford donk is I live in Victoria, and as we can't register older motors therefore the only 2 Ford options are the BIG V8 (wont fit in my Harrison) and the XR6 Turbo straight six, which is to tall and would need to be dry sumped, though I do like the idea of "dial a Horsepower option" with adjustable boost. To convert the 6 would probably cost more than I paid for the Gen IV, 6 litre (VE) Crate motor, and I'd lose a lot of boot space. The other option is a Lexus V8. but I think even you Ford Guys would prefer the "Stars and Stripes" to the "Land on the rising Sun" Option. (when I say "Stars & Stripes" I actually mean Mexico, for the L98). Back to the topic!! How do I contact "Gavin" is that his name or call sign? Thank you.

Yeah but the Toyota would out last everything else

There was a 283 Chevy powered AC that pre-dates the Cobra...

There's a thread around here somewhere about it.

Nothing to be ashamed of, the 283 was a fine motor. First engine in the US to achieve 1hp per cubic inch. (1957)
