@Cal Tonsley , Whats it like putting headers in an Aussie car? Or finding them? You've got the steering over there and it looks like they didn't bother to move the engine back over for you. Are there special headers?

Yes, the engine pretty much stayed in the US location with the Aus cars so headers are super tight on our drivers side!
While aftermarket headers are available, they are typically tri-y style - I went with a custom fabricated tuned length set with 3” collectors and system for this build.
 
Stock 273 Commando in my 65 Barracuda circa 1969.

340 in it today. 71 block, 72 forged crank, Eddy heads, TTI headers, etc. Been a 340 since spring of 1973, but different iterations - 72 and 71 block, early and late 340 exhaust manifolds, fenderwell headers, TTI headers, different intakes and different heads, high and low compression pistons, etc. Car's been driven 350,000 miles total, 150K with the original 273, rest with one form or other 340.
