Welcome to the site, and that is one bad-ass car!  Can you provide some details on the motor?  Are they mostly Paul Munro's parts?

Very cool car, engine and I love the colors.

Are those the OEM Ford die-cast aluminum side panels or are they sold down under as repos?

I've a '70 Mach 1 and here in the states, getting replacements for those panels is damn near impossible. Can't say how many have approached me to sell my gennie panels right off the car (!) for big bucks!

Hi Barry,

 I am new to this site and think your 70 Mustang looks Awesome! ;D Way  8)

I am currently looking at a 69.

I was just wondering what modifications you had to do to the engine bay to install the cammer engine? I am pondering doing something similar.

Thanks, Mel

Very nice car, Barry! You Aussies take your cars pretty seriously!

Knowing how hard parts are for you guys to get, you're pretty lucky Paul has dedicated so much time to reproducing SOHC parts. He was going to buy a couple of spare 427 blocks from me several years ago but I backed out because they are just getting too darn hard to find.

Again, VERY nice car, and welcome to the forum.

Beautiful work under the car.  Kind of surprised at the fuel pickup in the stock tank location, though.  I will assume that the stock pickup tube was replaced with something larger; that engine will definitely need it!

I just noticed your air cleaner built for the duel quads and still retaining your shaker.  Is the shaker still functional?  What rack & pinion set-up is that?  Can ya tell I was looking at it hard? ;)
