G'day . I am from Tasmania/Australia in the deep south. Only just found the site. Looks the goods and I joined up.
I love the early Century V8's up 'till they changed to 1UZ. I do have a 1UZ engine but am really looking to use a 4VU or 5VEU in a hot rod.
By the way I am looking to use it in a 1931 Ford Victoria I have. Dave

SWEEEET... A fan here as well... This site is mostly USA based, and the "V" engine series never made it across the pond.... but a few have made it here....

For me... my desire is to slip one into a xA29 and enjoy a hemi in a Celica :shock:

Great to have an early reply. Yeah that little red one is a beauty. I was at a swap meet about a month ago and walked past the only one.Looked great. Was complete with gearbox. I went back later and she was gone. IDIOT! It was $1300 which I should have paid.
I have been looking at carsales in Japan and a complete,good condition and driving Century can be had for about $4,500 US. You have to add freight and handling costs. Still great for such a cool car though.
I only want a motor. Will try to fit a manual box if possible. Dave
