Master cylinders for manual/unboosted brakes have a deeper recess for the pushrod from the brake pedal.
Boosted master cylinders have a shallow recess.
Apart from that, they are much the same except for the possibility of the built in residual valves.

Still left hand drive.  The laws have changed, so cars of this age can remain LHD.

It's a long way to Western Australia for you to come for inspection.

Yes it has the factory cast headers.
The interesting thing about the engine is the casting dates. The car is April 1963, and the block, heads and intake are Jan/Feb dated. The engine was in the car when I bought it, so someone appears to have gone through the effort of getting the right engine or as close as possible regarding the dates.

No, it's originally a Z Code 390 car.
But it has an R Code 427 with the 2x4 set up and backed by a Top Loader.  Not quite as good as an R Code car, but it's half the price of one.

That was probably me. My car is about 3" lower at the front and about 2 1/2" lower at the rear.

They were Galaxies here in Australia too, not rebadged. Ford Australia sold them from around 1963/64 until 1972.

Yes, a '71 Galaxie. You can use anything from '70 to '72. Galaxies after that used a larger bolt pattern.
I believe the '69 and earlier used smaller bearings. '

Yes they will. I fitted a complete '71 disc brake front including spindles to my '63 Galaxie. Fitting to a '67 should be a straight fit.
