If you want to modify the engine at all? Holley carb for example. Forget any car that has loads pollution requirements and laws. That rules out some of the XB's all the way through to XE.

I'm with Brendan on this one, anything Pre ADR 27A is much easier to legally modify.

As long as the car came out with the engine you want to put in it.
The old rumor is going around again, if you do a upgrade an engine you will have to compile with the year you first reg it with that engine. That will suck big time. A XP with a 302 would have to compile with 2006 reg's, there dreaming...

A mates getting an car engineered. He was told no matter what engine you have to comply it to the year of the car. He's fitting an EFI windsor into a 72 Capri.
