thanks for the reply hybrid,
After 20 years waiting to get our mustang, we didnt have the best experience with someone who was recommended to give the engine a "refresh". Engine kept overheating after his rebuild, gave lots of resons which involved lots of money, cut a long story short we pulled the heads off and he had put one of the head gaskets on back to front.
will tackle the pushrods this weekend, get the car on the road, join the qld club and go on some runs.
