Hi all, just read the article on the 63 Falcon Futura with the turbo 250 6 cylinder. Are you guys on to the Aussie 6 cylinder motors currently available? absolute rocketships!. They are now more popular than their V8 counterparts here. Here's some figures....the new Turbo six from FPVs(Ford Performance Vehicles) look impressive. Power output has jumped from 240 Kw to 270 Kw (362HP ), while peak torque is a monstrous 550 Nm (405Lb-ft) from just 2000 rpm - that's more than a Porsche 911 Turbo.Remember this is showroom stock!, there are companies here twisting another 1/3 output from them without opening the engine!.
Anyway, I'm looking at retro fitting one to my 63 Fairlane instead of using the Windsor V8 now after test driving one!. Have a look at the Aussie Ford website for more info.

Cheers
Dene
