You might struggle with the webber equipped 427. The motor will need to meet current emissions rules to pass and that motor won't no matter what you do to it.

Hi Mike,
Ok there u go I could have sworn I read in multiple places they had a live rear end I stand corrected I did know about the the transverse leaf setup on the 289. Yeah I know meeting modern emissions with a Webber setup would be near impossible another reason that got culled from the dream early in the peace.
Althought I believe if you were to get an older car with a carby engine for example. You only need to comply with the emission standards of the year of manufacture, but from what I have heard from Vic roads it a bit of a grey area. I wouldn't like to be the trial case with out some fairly hefty re assurances from Vic roads that it would meet compliance at $700+ ago you don't want it too fail too many times.
Thanks for setting me straight on the rear end.
Cheers Andrew
