HEVEN67,
The only main difference is that the throttle body faces the l/h/s on aust 5.0 and faces the r/h/s on us 5.0.I beleive it can be turned around if wiring loom modified.
thanks Ange.

Also AU Falcons use GT40P heads which have different spark plug angles.  Your original exhaust manifolds will bolt on but MAY foul the plugs.  You wont have that problem with EB to EL 5.0s
