Ryder the Harrisons can be a bit misaligned - body on frame - so check that carefully (as Sambo has said). Also take care on wheel offsets. Many of the US-made ones can't make the necessary offset/backspace. I eventually went with Dragway - an Aust wheel maker who have done scores of Cobras - and got the perfect setting for my Harrison.

On motors, well if you want the Shelby-Ford heritage appeal and, IMHO the best sound, go the Mustang HO as many of us have done and add cams, MasFlo later as you find the extra $$$s. It is fine for rego in QLD. The Holden motor is a great one also and can usually meet the emissions required in some Southern states.
