Wow, Thanks for the replies! I love driving my Fox around australia, no one knows what it is. I've had people call it a torana, scorpion and I even had someone call it a transam!! I'ts amazing that they are not well known here.
I have had to do this swap on a bit of a budget, I have a good 351C block and crank that needs to be built but I have had a few issues so that build has to be put off for a while. So I have a running 302C that I am fitting in in the mean time so when the 351 is eventually ready I can do the change with most of the problems fixed.
Most will hate to see this but my fox has been converted to RH drive so I have to get custom headers made up and the brake booster was a bit of an issue. but the engine is in and I just have a few other bits and pieces to fix up. The main things left are exhaust, sump and clutch.
I have made up a new pedal box with a hydraulic clutch master cylinder. just need to run the hyd lines and fit a clutch.
The T5 is out of a Aussie EF falcon. the cross member mounting point was a little too far fwd so a new cross member had to be made. tail shaft lines up perfectly though.
My sump is on its way, so hopefully that will fit considering the RH drive conversion, the steering rack is not standard and looks like it is tucked in enough to clear but wont know for sure until I fit it.
I better get back to work, here is a few photos of her. Remember that is is a dirty old runnig 302C just for fitting, dont mind the condition of her..
