The engine compartment on the Falcon was pretty narrow due to the spring and shock assembly sitting on top of the upper A-arm; bigger Fords had the coils behind the steering knuckle and leaning on the lower A-arm, leaving much more room in the engine compartment for big block motors.
The carbs in the kit may or may not be Carters as in the original; I'm not up on my American carbs.
The oil cooler is a photo-etched part from Scale Production in Germany. The only item missing is a coil.
Overall I'm quite happy with the result. This includes a bit more wiring than I usually do, including a wire from the positive battery terminal to the starter motor which is, of course, completely hidden inside the shock towers and under the exhaust manifold on the right side.
The Trumpeter kit includes a fairly flexible front subframe which is hopefully going to line up properly. So that's all done and the interior is the next step.
