I understand where you are coming from
I did not realize you guy down under have trouble getting engine parts but are you guys going to put a1000 miles on a carrier with the throttle pinned to the floor
as that is the way they were driven
I drove a 42 Ford car and put well over 300,000 miles on it and never rebuilt it just added oil 9Now I would say that is pretty reliable and it did not leave me on the side of the road like some of this new S**T
