Last September I ordered a roller cam 302, stroked to a 347ci with lots of go fast stuff on it, rated at 450 horsepower. The people charged with freighting it over stuffed up the transport and it has arrived 2 months late.
The idea is to build up a street machine, with the hot donk, a hard AOD trnsmission and a 9" diff with a locker and 3.55 gears. Should be a sweet beast! Now the engine has arrived but I am yet to order the rest of it, because I was worried the motor had been stolen or I had been ripped off.
Well it has arrived, the thing looks amazing and now I have to pull my finger out and get the rest of the gear organised.
Here's the video the engine builder made for me

Australia Day Buderim 2010
Brilliant blue skies launched a scorcher of an Australia Day on Buderim, nice and early we prepared for the big parade down the main drag.
Shano donned the Kookaburra suit to play the part of Buddee, the mascot of the Buderim Web Site. Riding in the back with a cartoon speech bubble style sign which told the crowd who/what he was . . . he waved to the cheering flag wavers as the Mustang revved and seared on the boiling bitumen.
Ambient temperature was in the mid thirties, a home made ice vest kept the mascot's internal character cool(ish), the poor 289 was sitting quite high in the guage, but kept steady.
