Here's a few pics of the engine bay and the donk. Spun the motor up at Kostecki's the other day. She made 701hp/595tq@6800rpm,  508tq@4000rpm, 409tq@2900rpm,.  We shut her down for a bearing check and  all was good. The run was with a rich mix 1050 carb. Now we have to sort out the injection. I had her built to spin to 8000rpm.

My name's Russell ,I'm 37 and I live in Toodyay, Western Australia. I work 7days on and 7days off as a Process Control Technician at a Nickel Refinery.
I'm currently rebuilding my 69 mach 1. I hope to run a 10second 1/4 mile in her some day. Here is a list of some of the goodies I have fitted or purchased over the last three years.
Body is currently being panelled and painted and is going to be Candy apple red with Mach 1 markings with shaker scoop and rear spoiler.
Motor- 460ci windsor stroker small block(World man-o-war short motor) with Yates C3L heads(750hp+). FAST fuel injection, Edelbrock manifold,Concept One serpentine pulley system, Meziere electric H20 pump, TCI Rattler balancer, Canton aluminium sump, external timing belt...

Differential- Competition Engineering chromoly sheet metal 9inch housing,Strange nodular-iron centre, Moser 31spline billet axles,Truetrac center with 4:11 gears.
Suspension- RRS power steering rack and pinion,RRS coilover on the front with 330mm discs(17x8 wheels) and RRS threelink coilover system on the rear with 315mm discs(18x11wheels).JMC master cylinder and hydraulic clutch.
Interior- JME dash with Autometer guages, Scat elite seats and the rest is black Mach 1 interior. Powered windows and locks.Cool air products aircon/heating system. Fuel safe fuel cell with Fast 1000hp fuel pump kit.
This car has become an 'obsession'! I have wanted a 69 since I was 10years old.
Some days are frustratingly slow and make me wonder why! But after a week away at work and I come home and open up the shed, Its worth everything!!! Every time a part arrives in the mail its like Xmas!
                       you're crazy mate, but already I like you :+

mmm....Capri in the background. Building a drag car?

My brother bought the 460w from world too, is going to run AFR heads and a Flying Toilet, in his full chassis Capri.
Did you buy the short assembled? After the pull down, was it all ok? We are considering pulling this down before we fit it.

Hey nice work 6t9.  That's a big undertaking mate but it looks like it's coming together ok.

I like your build list as it closely resembles mine aside from the HP figures that is.  I'm building a streetable regular driver and here's a prtial list of what I have so far:

TKO600 with a 2" right offset (for RHD),
Full kevlar/kevlar clutch,
Quicktime SFI steel bellhousing,
CNC hydraulic clutch set-up,
Currie Track 9 housing with forged 31 spline axles. Torino bearing ends, nodular housing and Tru-Trac with 3.89 gears (shortened for RRS rear disc set-up),
Total Control Products G-Link (G-Bar) triangulated 4 link with dual adjustable coil overs and sway bar,
Hydratech Hydroboost braking system,
Global West lower front arms, adjustable strut rods and sway bar,
RRS power rack and pinion
Flaming River stainless tilt steering column,
Lecarra Mark IV leather wheel and billet adaptor,
Vintage Air A/C (which is being modified for right hook)
Lokar handbrake and billet pedals.

Still got to get the RRS front coil overs and phase three brakes front and back.

On top of that a sh1tload of Dynacorn sheetmetal and more small parts than I care to count.

Right now just sorting out the power and was thinking crate but just read your post re KEC's comment on crates.  Hmmmmmm.

A 67 fastback although it doesn't resemble much of one at the moment.

To be honest, I have none of it fitted up yet, it's all in a big pile down at my warehouse.  I just have one of those 1 piece cast CNC combo master cylinders see here.  I'm confident it'll clear the hydroboost once it's fitted up to the new firewall.  This is the Hydroboost

It's early days for me yet.  I've been working on my new website this arvo (have the flu so having the weekend off) and will upload it when I'm done.  I've got plenty of pics of the 'project' on there.

Warmride.

Chassis has been boxed for extra strength and the new cross/shock mount brace is welded in. Bump stops have been moved from outside the rail to the inside so the new mini- tubbs can go flush with the rail. (nice and wide);}

All I can say 6T9 is that you're a glutton for punishment!  Nice work though mate.

I see you're running the Lokar pedals too, is the far right pedal a foot brake?
