My NEW (old) Car that I purchased from Overseas! Barn find?

5 months ago I purchased a car from one of my mates that lives in Arizona USA.
Within 10 minutes of seeing it advertised I had transferred money, if that's not an impulse buy I don't know what is!

It arrived last week so I went down with Mitch from A Black towing to pick it up.

It's a 60's 2 door sedan and it's the perfect candidate for an engine swap.

What engine would you swap in? let us know in the comments section.

Since this is Woody's car.. are we going to get an "Al narrates" series again? That sh*t was priceless the last time :P

[DanWallis]

Surely it has to be the Barra that’s been occupying space in the shed.

Al’s face on a the front with the quote “this is the best decision you’ve ever made in your life”

The V8 in the photo is indeed a Windsor.
1. Front distributor (usually Ford)
2. Thermostat on the intake manifold (clevo is on the block)

You can tell Woody is excited when he sounds extra Australian

[iandodson]

High comp 289, quad Weber, top loader, fat steelies, done 👌

I love how woody pulls the tube out of the box, out of the bubble wrap, Chuck's the box and then throws said tube back in the boot 🤣🤣🤣

It’s already set up for a falcon 6 so a barra seems the logical choice, a jz engine would be the woody choice

[dougyboote]

I assume that dirty Barra that's been sitting under the bench for years

Glad to know Petes old car is in good hands and i can see it thru the build stages

[DragoserakerIT]

barra, straight up. seems like it would perfectly suit it.

You never take a dead body out into the desert. You take a live one otherwise you have to dig the grave yourself.

Love it! Needs a killer Aussie Cleveland engine...

[jamiebeckf]

New motor is Al's old ZD30. The intercooler has been installed behind the rear wheels already.

[ABANDONEDCARREVIVALS]

Nice! I have. 64 Ford Galaxie myself!! Revived it last year from under a mountain of pine needles....

[MattLWilliams]

I'm gonna say 1UZ, a barra would be sick but I have a feeling it's gonna be a turbo 1UZ

[TorqHub]

I would TOOOOTALLY run a 363ci windsor with twin 62mm Nagasaki noisy bois through a braked powerglide and that 8.8 read end. 👌🏻
