It's the Repco factory c.1970/71. They got this from the local market and called it the Veggie Cart. Malcolm Preston got it from Victoria Market, Melboiurne. The engine in the photo is possibly from Frank Matich's McLaren M10B.

That's it! It's a Repco Holden F5000 engine on its way to the Dyno for testing. One online source suggests it might belong to Matich's M10B and another pegs it as later than that. I think it's all a matter of speculation and no one really knows which engine this was.
