Smile Big Block 460 What car?

Hey guys I was wondering with all the knowledge in the forums that someone might know of a listing that would tell me what car I can legally put in my 460 big block. I am finding it very hard to get any info on what came out with the 460 or what I can legally put it in without an engineers report? It will be in registered victoria it that helps.
Cheers Nitro460

Whats wrong with havign to get an engineers report, its not as scary as people seem to think.

Why not choose the car model you like and then work out the engine you can stick in it if an engineers report is required so be it.

Heres a cheep doner car for you

I know of a guy who had one in his XW, and it got passed off and licensed as a 302!

Ftruck , crown vic , mustang and some early ltd/glaxays but can be engineered into x/a/b/c with additions like braces and upgraded brakes and springs , might require a cage as well , I had a legal 390 FE in a zd all to do with weight and factory options available from Ford

Thanks for some interesting feed back guys. I thought the Glalxie but the XA,b,c would be a nightmare with an engineer wouldnt it? I thought they would be against this sort of thing. I really like they idea of a 60's model fairlane.
