Given that US cars had their motors shifted to the right, is yours shifted to the left, or is the column shaft a really tight fit in the engine compartment?
Interseting as I never really thought about that with RHD. Ron

It's been painted. Front Wings (fenders) are very good condition, bonnet (hood) and boot (trunk) have minimal rust.The majority of the trim is good. It's quite solid. Only real problem area is the rear quarters. They have some filler (bondo) in. A new pair of these and it will be a really good car. Hi Mick. Not planning to do much at all on this. Just a mild small block daily driver with occasional strip use. Though we are wondering about those SB rpm heads for sale on the MMA board, where will that lead us though? Getting new bumpers and some small bolt pattern Cragars for it and a Formula S stripe in Dark Blue. Probably just run it around as is 'till we want to do the body work.

That firewall is wacky! You got a close-up of the console? It looks like a 69. I have an Aussie Ute and nothing in the engine bay looks the same.

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Good to know, as you can see I've got some block huggers to try. Keeping my options open. I emailed pacemaker a while back, asking if they would fit, got no reply They are also quite expensive to ship to the UK.

whats the steeringbox and idler arm bolted to ?
Looks like the same setup the Aussie cars used, and they bolt to the frame rail. (with some through-the-rail crush tubes)
Some of them would crack the rails on the bottom side where it mounts, so always good to check them out there.
A common mod in Oz is a modified K frame to use a rack and pinion. I put one in my old Charger, was a nice setup. (they use a common Holden Commodore rack)

Maybe try emailing http://www.dodgecity.com.au/ for the extractors ? They deal with most of the Oz companies. (I delt with Paul before and got my rack conversion from him as well years back)

It is odd...sort of like a hybrid LH/RH sort of one. Not just a firewall from an Oz Mopar at least.
The Aussie cars never had the firewall bulkhead connector like his does, they just went through a rubber gommet near the heater hoses.
