Yes but is it road legal, there is no "Chev" in austrlaia, just Holden which make the most shit cars in the world, there actually Opel's with different badges and some other things. But ford truly make kick ass cars in Austrlia.
And my dads just build a 1932 Deuce Coupe (all Steal) With a 351. It weighs a bit less then a metric (Americans with there primative mesurement system made by imperials) tonn or somthing and will do about 8 or 9 seconds on the Quarter Mile and does 0-100 in... very fast. Not much to say about the handleing though...
Get a ford 8.4 litre (yes we can mesures things logically you screwy americans) with Quad turbos and it will get 1500 or 2000 horsepower, about 1000kw's of fun. (Hell Yeah). Thats a non roadlegal ford, those engines are made in the states. Pity US Senators have no dicks, and make gay road laws.

I built the engine in my '55 Chevrolet (Belaire 2 dor hardtop) myself; it was originally a 1964 Corvette fuel injected 327 cu. in. (approx 5.3 liter) V-8. Stock horsepower was rated @ 340 HP @ 6500 RPM; when it was finished, I estimate an honest 525 HP @7200 RPM. When I was racing, my normal shift point was 8200/8300 RPM; not bad for 1971, eh?
By the way, I don't know of any laws in the US that resrict horsepower in road-use cars in this country, althogh some anti-pollution laws do make it difficult.
