It would be more a case of putting your car into one of the boars

I think you'd find the grey box would hold up fine provided you didn't side step the clutch or do roll backs to often

I vote powerglide, you wont need any more than 2 gears with that

realy , if any one does fit one up to an ek,,, as fbs mite not be modern enough,,,,, you mite want to turbo it , just to make it go a bit better

ohh and nose it into the pacific , with the bottom hose off just so you get enough cooling capacity

mite need the torana 60l tank aswell,,as a small increase in consumption will affect its range

I phoned VicRoads.
They say it's fine, but you will need an engineers certificate.
Power to weight, not too bad.
The trick will be where to mount the car
