Haha. Cheers, although I should update the piccy as that went a couple of years ago now

Thanks for the update guys. Such a shame that so many other prototypes were destroyed

Can't wait to see the elephant finished though.

Too right; there'd be a bloodbath if it transpired the Speed 8(s) had survived.

[mrzigazaga]

So would the Holden V6 3.8 that was destined for the ES prototype fit into a 280 chassis...Please say it does..PLEASE..Or maybe some of these will..

......

Hay Zig,
Just say the word if you want a Holden V6 there's thousands of'em here, they do a supercharged on now too

[mrzigazaga]

Thanks mate..Will have to do some research whether or not it will fit..How much to ship over and so on......................But you got me brain wurring round and the piggy bank sqealing..Cheers..Ziga

Very nice Graham,

Where does that car live? I take it it was not at the BBWF?

Adam,

Being that you're in Aus.

What price can you find a Ford 351 Cleveland for down there, a 4-bolt mains one would be a bonus?

Phil
420 SEAC

Thanks for that adam..Bloomin heck graham you had to do it again..Now im salivating everywhere..Yummy yum yum.... I think all that one needed was a couple of strengthening bars around the engine bay..My Piggy bank just jumped off the shelf and done a runner..

Hi Phil.

The car belongs(ed) to one of the American PHers, who I believe posted as 302wedge.
