Hi, I've been looking at this site for several years now and thought it was time I jumped in and joined the group. Presently I own three Fords, a 1955 Ford Tudor - undergoing restoration, a 1958 Aussie Mainline utility and a 1958 Aussie Customline (which is in the process of going to a new home) - got to make room for our toys. My two Aussie cars are fully roadgoing whereas my 55 is a project in progress, though it is a great body out of California where it had been parked up since 1963. No doubt as I get further into the resto I am going to need some advice from you more experienced tinkerers. I intend to keep it pretty much original, though will be upgrading the car to power steering, power drum brakes and boring the engine out to 292 with four barrel. One thing that may be astumbling block is the throttle linkage bolted to the rear of the engine. Currently the setup is for a 2 barrel. Did Ford fit a different setup for the four barrel or did they modify this bracket? If so are these brackets available?

Over the years I have dealt with Aussie Bill (Cusso Bill) and found him to be a great source of parts and expertise.

I look forward to taking part.
