I know Tickford are tweaking the Mustang but wouldn't it be great if a ratified crowd something like the old FPV /Prodrive could get hold of a few of the 5.2 litre flat plane crank motors from the GT350 and Ford Australia had responsibility to build a limited number of 350 spec units here . That'd up the anty straight away for HSV and Camaro .

I suppose all sorts of reasons why that can't happen but if remotely possible some could be assembled here for other RHD markets as ordered in the Southern Hemisphere such as New Zealand ,other South Pacific nations and maybe even African markets. We do know a thing or two about putting some special Fords together after all ...
