Hello From Down Under........

Hello i use to be a member over 20 years ago ( jamies460 ) i had a1983 Falcon Sedan with a 460 engine in it, that car was sold a couple of years after the Build. I now own a 2008 Ford FG XR8 with a 5.4 Liter Engine, down here its called a Boss 290 , its the Modular 330 ci engine with 4 valves per Piston ive been told its the same engine used in the GT500 Mustangs in the U-S-A from 2007 to 2014 but i may be wrong ! Parts here are very expensive for this motor so i have been looking at Ebay.com for some.... but before i purchase im hoping some members can help me as if i get it wrong its a Expensive Mistake, im now 61 years old & have moved from the Central Coast to Rural NSW out in the Country got married in 2013.
