Cars: 2002 Ford Falcon XT - 5.4L 3v Modular V8
2002 Ford BA Falcon XT V8
Australians will have seen a million of these getting around, but not many in this colour, nor packing a modular 5.4litre 3valve "triton" engine (Barra 220). Apart from the engine upgrade this car is absolute taxi spec which saves a fair bit of weight if you don't need/want leather seats, traction control etc.
The torque is monstrous and trying to get it down can be an issue, with an open diff and no-brand 225r17's!!!
some photos on the day I bought it
planned mods:
FPV F6 lower air scoop
DIY larger intake
staggered 18" rims, most likely black and with a bit of lip; especially on the rear
larger brakes - off an FPV or Territory
LSD with 3.73 gears
Stage 1 blower cam
Edlebrock W2A intercooled supercharger
