A mate , about 13 years ago got an xa falcon sedan, to justify keeping it needed to be a daily.
Hence he fitted an injected 4ltr and electronic 4 speed out of an xh.
Lots of troubles/ working through reliability issues = but it became' a great daily before now on club rego.

He loves it!!!

Took a while to find the right club because shxt cxxts go it needs to be either an original type engine or a v8

Hell yeah , a coyote engine !!! = would be aursome.

A barra for cost and = different = great.

Lots of space in tray.
Even your mustache doesn't look cheesy ha ha

I would think a buick V6 and T700 is a more cost effective conversion.
Ahhh well that's depends on who you talk too.......;) Hahahaha

The mo looks well kept.
Must need to be so, for an office job? Maybe?
I worked for Harley-Davidson, so facial hair tidiness was a bit more flexible, lol. (I haven't used my electric razor for about a year now)

Lol, yeah I'm an engineer, but an office based engineer. So have to look kind of presentable.

460 EFI Big Block is the only acceptable swap for this.
You wont notice towing anything because awesome torque
Sounds so good
And it gets lighter really quickly if you don't have it on rising rate fuel reg :p
And there actually is parts available for it.

Looks like it was a good weekend.
Well timed with the current situation.



Oh did i forget to mention, Big Block

As much as I'd love a big block in it, I don't have the money for a big block or to fuel it haha.

But the sound!

Is funny when the mate would rock up in his E250 Van with with said 460 in it and people werent expecting a Brick on wheels.
And it would out haul some not to slow vehicles while towing a massive trailer on the back.
However you are right on the fuel costs. Think it is around the 25-30L per 100 mark without it being on rising rate, could be down to 20 with it though.
