nice work man, thats sick.

now its time to put on a styleside, body drop it a few inches, put in some bags with a big compressor and big lines. that way when you blow off a commodore you can drop the arse end of the hilux and give em a nice blanket of sparks

very neat looking truck, Windsors are a tough little motor, Is it engineered? particularly interested in how you got around the emissions problems. ?

Nice ride mate !

Its good to see something different !!
We sorta have something in common............ Ford and toyota swaps. I have a toyota engine in a ford
Either way they are both close to my heart.

Hi. I still need to upgrade the front brakes to BA rotors & calipers it should then pass.
Emissions is not such a big deal here in Tassie. I have made no structural changes to the chassis and could refit old motor very simply. I have tried to make it look like it belongs under the bonnet. NOT like some rough jobs I have seen.

Hey That is one nice looking 440. A friend had one with a blown 401 Windsor. As a drag car. They have a nice shape and stance.
