Davo they'll all fit - just depends how much work you want to do/money you want to spend/fun you want to have. My young bloke & I are slipping a Gen 111 LS1 into our EK wagon, and having a great time doing it (altho we're both doing the work, both having the fun, but I'm doing all the spending! :( ). Which reminds me, just about time for some updates.

Cheers, Steve

Welcome mate

Good to see another father son project. Keep the pics coming.
No doubt your wagon will be better coz we know it's 'better in Berrigan' :wink:
I was there late last year for a wedding, good pub and friendly country folk.

Good luck with the build. Good to see a V8 shoehorned into a wagon

Lol yeah better in Berrigan. what pub did you go to? Progress will be abit slow until I sell my wagon and upgrade to a hsv grange. but will start taken it apart and sanding down the panes then start repairing the damage panles wich won't be hard he reckons on these older cars.

And ill keep posted with updates I normal take pics of everything I do to a car.
