As soon as you buy a foreign car over 40 years old that does less than 20 miles to the gallon of course.

Remove the inner wings that'll free up some room,

I have had a 440 stroked to 500 with Indy heads in an "A" body with all the inner fenders in place.
Use TTI headers, manual steering, no power brakes, mini-strarter is mandatory but never a bad idea, and its a mare to change the plugs, but there is a technique you learn.
I too have a spare "K" frame for LHD "A" bodies and mounts/torsion bars for a bolt-in solution if you are really interested.
I could probably rustle up a 440 in bits, or there's our old motor that ran 11.4 @ 117mph in an "A" body.
440's fit where they touch, which is everywhere; but as Blue says a BB "A" body really rocks! It has got to be the cheapest way of going fast!

Yep.
Headers are a killer - you need to talk to the Oz owners.

Might get away with fenderwells, but there not street friendly
