Just curious but wouldnt a GM T5 trany be a more logical and easier fit than a Toyota? Can anyone enlighten me?

Car is in OZ, not too many Cameros there, but lots of Toyotos. Dellow Engineering makes a swap bellhousing, possibly others.

Thank you very much. Didn't see the location. That explains a lot.

The dash is interesting.
While I have seen that style of dash on late US rubber bumper cars I have never seen that style of dash on a RHD car.
Where did it come from?
