Its been a long time between posts. I have relocated down to Perth and been busy trying to buy a suitable house.
I have ordered a new shed but it will still be a few months before the pad goes in and its all set up :grr:

My new 427 small block is here but will have to stay in the crate a bit longer.

My 5 speed gearbox and install kit is still waiting to clear through customs, should be able to pickup in the next few days.

Thanks Jethro, Bob.

They say its about 100 lbs lighter then the cast iron block. My car went over the weight bridge at 1380 kg so should shed another 45 kg or so (a new gearbox may add some though!!!).

I was thinking of a blower, compression may be a bit too high so would have to reduce the boost (which properly defeats the purpose of it).
I am going to use my fabricated EFI manifold with 60lb injectors, I just need to find a good tuner here in Perth!!!
