Thanks,
Its a 66, has been in Australia for a while, converted to RHD using local Valiant parts. The car was really nicely restored to original as a show car over 10 years ago but had been sitting and neglected for the past 5 years. Its still really clean with no rust, just needs a tidy up and is perfect for my plans.
It has a 318/904 auto. I am having a 273 built in the US by a well known Mopar Nascar engine builder. Im sourcing an a833 4 speed and an 8 & 3/4 rear. Everyone builds stroker 408's now so I decided to keep it 273 with roller cam and forged internals etc. hopefully for a high revving 400hp . All the forums say it cant be done :). Im not touching the body, and will have Vintage low-back Kirkey seats, big torsion bars good shocks etc. basically an R-Gruppe Mopar. It will see street duty as well..
I'm a real Mopar fan and love these. A little known fact is they were FIA approved for Lemans etc and competed in the Daytona 24hr along with the first few years of Trans Am. A few of them race in Europe now with one racing at Goodwood revival regularly.

Im looking forward to seeing your car finished and Im sure you will enjoy it.
