Haven't decided yet, but probably tucked up behind the Shelby front valance. That way it's away from the firewall so I won't hear it, and won't get hit with stones from the tyres.

Tried to fit mine behind the splash guard but just shy an inch. Fitted mine to the left front apron for the time being.

They wait until they've got a full pallet before sending things back to head office.

BTW was it you that asked me about the ARP rocker posts? Someone did last week and I've forgotten who.

I've also recently bought a very low km 347 early block off a guy in Vic that is upgrading to a dart block. It includes Scat I-beam rods, Carillo forged pistons (8.75cc), ARP main and head studs, line bored and zero decked.

I've got a set of pro magnum roller rockers for them on the way.


I'd like to say a huge thanks to Shaun for all of his help so far :cheers:

I couldn't resist starting to test fit my motor tonight.

Plenty of room for a bigger EL Falcon radiator too:

Heads are in our NSW branch ready to be shipped back to me. Once they arrive I can see if my patriot clipster middies will fit. They're 1-5/8" with 3" collectors.
