Thats pretty good value, the issue is more all the other bits required for a conversion into most cars.

The social media post talks about auto and manual control packs from Ford Performance which includes throttle and air box assemblies, PCM and wiring.

The bell housing is a Mod pattern so the ZF 6 speed might fit.

Would either of you have any links about the availability of the control packs. I know of someone with one of these on it's ways from the US and says that Ford Performance said the control packs are not available yet.

On the Herrod Socials mentioned the FP Control Pack.

I've also seen on Palm Beach Dyno (youtube channel),
They have been talking about an aftermarket control loom. OBR control pk. https://obrcontrolsystems.com/produc...-control-pack/

Also watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRdcM8VtTwQ

Harrop + Dandy use fuel tech system.

Is that just for the stock motor?
Including or Excluding GST?
Engine is only $10k from the USA. Freight wouldn't be much, just have to pay the GST.

And whilst it's a lot of money, its comparatively cheap for a new Crate Engine.

That's the price that Herrod had posted on Social Media nearly 1 yr ago now.

I would also assume that you would need to add a Computer on top of that to run it.

Alot of engine for the money!
