Volvo 780

There's plenty of them in the USA, and for not much money.

One of the 80 or so ex-Japan 780s might be good for OZ though, since they have headlights suitable for left hand traffic (which is normally RHD) .

3000GT? or did they sell those there in a non dodge version?

None older than 1996, right?

Didn't realise a 1996 cut off...no, the turbos came in 2002

For anything Ford you want BA through to FG XR8 or turbo 6 (incl. Territory). The Barra 6 turbo and LPI (same bottom end) are the beasts.

Maybe an older than 96 V8 ite with the turbo 6 swap,it would be allowed here so maybe it could pass.

96 anything barra and just swap it to turbo after importation to USA

RB30T engined Commo (BT1 spec) might be of interest - but wouldn't be cheap...

Yeah, needs to be common cheap to make it worth the hassle.

Maybe it would just be better for me to buy a front cut from a typhoon and find something locally to drop it in.

I have a line on a eunos Cosmo with a 13b. I could sell the 13b and trans and swap in the i6T in it's place. Would be pretty killer AND trigger all of the rotary guys

        Yeah, but I can't get a complete vehicle in until it's 25. If I have to buy a front cut I might as well get it straight from the Kangaroos mouth. I would be ALL OVER one of the Falcon's if I could drive it legally here.

        Right now I'm looking for flippies! Gotta fund my current build!
