This street car is Australian designed and built but based on the USA Ford Falcon.

Majority were six cyl (170/200 CI) with only a handful of V8s (289 CI) built.
My car has a 5.0 H.O. small block Ford V8 (Windsor) from a 1989 Mustang GT with a few small mods to handle ~500HP:
- Larger valves
- Bowl job porting
- Roller Rockers
- ARP fasteners
- ~0.600 lift cam
Big mods to make ~500HP and keep everything under the bonnet.
I replaced the intake manifold and up with a custom Supercharged/EFI setup:
- Whipple Twin Screw Supercharger 2.3 liter/rev
- VEMS 3.6
- Holley 1000CFM 4 barrel throttle body
- TFX 55lb/576cc lowZ injectors
- Edelbrock rails
- Mallory boost referenced fuel regulator
- Bosch 044 pump
- MSD coil packs in wasted spark configuration
I want it to run 11.0s so it has a serious drivertrain:
- Custom TCE 2800 stall converter
- PA Super Comp C10 3 speed auto - full manual - reverse pattern - transbrake - 1000HP capacity
- 3" 4130 chrome moly driveshaft with billet yokes
- Custom Ford 9" rear - 3.5 ratio - Detroit TrueTrac - billet 31 spline axles
Had lots of fun building it, now having lots more fun tuning and driving and soon drag racing!
