4.0lt falconm motor in a LJ Torana
Hey all,
Bit of a different project to a esky but thought id put it up none the less..aside to my escort rally car, my dad has a LJ GTR XU1 sports sedan..that had all the usual fruit.. worked 202 etc.. but as bits got harder to get dad and i decided to go 'different' and try and fit a EA falcon 3.9lt motor with a T5 gearbox..well after 8 months of graft she lives! and with no injection we made a custom inlet manifold for 3 x 45 webbers!.. this setup staying in for 2 years until we decided to update (remember this motor was a bog standard motor cost $150, and in that state was as quick as hugly updated s15 silvias, 80k sportscars etc) so now it has a fully blueprinted/balanced EF XR6 motor..that makes near 30-40kw more than the old motor did!
Shes a wild beast..even uses a mk2 esky engine mount on the passanger side! but anyway ill let the pics tell the story have a look see and ask any questions
sorry its not a classic ford in a sense but a bloody awesome engineering feat and i hope you all can agree
Cheers
Matty
