1967 Mustang Fastback

Looking real good, Godbolt. A friend is hooking me up with all the 3" food grade SS that I need for my exhaust. I hope it turns out even half as good as yours. What mufflers are you using? Again, that is real good looking work you're doing.

Exhaust looks great. I just saw the intake tube. Holy F that's a lot of aluminum welding, I think I would have found a different way to make that, but all's well that ends well.

Haha! Yes. I was considering sanding the welds down and making it appear as one smooth piece but I kind of like the look of the welds.....

And thanks windows, I've got some flowmasters you can see in the earlier mock up picks.

Very nice job! It gets nicer every time you post!

By far my favorite project going on right now.

[Godbolt]

Ok, so the scope creep continues. Was going to run the ford ECU but have decided to go with this-

[Godbolt]

It will allow a much cleaner set up and a custom harness is being made. The extension to the supercharger intake is also done. When the engine goes in next time it will be to fire it.

Great ecm choice! Always a treat to see updates on this one. Is the car still on the south side of Brisbane?

[Godbolt]

Yep. It's at Ross Stone Racing. Tony Porter who did the fab work was a long time with SBR and Ross and Mark Bastin (sparky, also ex-Stone Brothers) are helping out. Good to have these contacts. They sourced an alternator from the guy who bring thems in from the US for the Aussie v8 supercar teams. They are from NASCAR where I'm told they will use them for one race and then replace! Ross and Mark are rebuilding Russell Ingall's championship winning car at the moment.

Nice!

Please post a video of that engine as soon as you get it fired up
This might be a dumb question but is this going to be a race car only? Or will it be street legal?
Are there pro touring events here in Australia, like they have autocross in America?

[Godbolt]

Not exactly street legal..... Looks like I will be able to get a limited rego as a road rally car. That would allow me to drive to and from events and within 15km of home provided I am "testing" a part and requires a log book to back that up. I'm ok with that as it is not exactly built for comfort as much as I would love to give it a blast up Mt Glorious each weekend early in the morning.......

There are various road race style events, the most notable being the Targa's which is the long term plan, but I am looking at regular track days so I can learn how to use it properly.

[Josh@Ridetech]

I'll trade you engines

[linkstar69]

I've looked at the rules for a few of the targa style events and I found it hard to be sure a non period style modified car would be able to find a class but there's so many street sprints and hillclimbs that look fun

[Godbolt]

Category is a problem but they do allow cars in a "demonstrator" class if you don't strictly fit the rules. It is at their discretion but I suspect I can swing it.

[camaros down under]

I've just googled a car that I saw (and touched...) a few years ago in the Adelaide Classic Rally (if it is the same car)- Steve Coad's HQ Monaro. 7litre engine and it enters these races in vehicle class MS which I think stands for Modified Specification. But anyway, you will race somewhere somehow

Godbolt, I have tried sending you a PM but it doesn't look like it's worked so I will investigate a bit more. Still getting used to this site

[Godbolt]

Firewall done. She is coming together.
