Actually if you have a close look you will see a lot of 71-73. honeycomb grill, nasa scoops, the front guard eyebrows.
When you see the 74 2 door variant like gpierce's I think you can see where Ford aus leant on the style of the 71-73.

Check the engine 351c, yates heads and quad webber 48IDA's - how good would that sound!
I think that is my favourite line as well. The other bit I like is that $2k for paint and material. I am thinking that the labour might increase that by 3 fold as a start.

Yes they did but if you want a daily driver the LHD car is just a bit harder to live with so there is still some reasons to have a RHD conversion.
I think Ozcoupe has bought the car with a partial RHD conversion commenced and no doubt got it pretty cheap as a result ::thumb::

In Australia the common source is our 302c rods which a 6 inch.
Did have a look at this some time ago and the downside is you need a custom piston yet the word is no appreciable increase in power to be worth the cost.
