I read somewhere that the 220kw Winsors in the current falcons are one of the last batches of winsor block castings in the world. So they have to change soon cause they aren't making any more. They are completely stripped locally and rebuilt with locally sourced components. Go Aussies.
But all the same I bet Tickford would rather be playing with the 5.4 multicam instead.

yeah but in the cooking model bluebird/skyline, unless you call a TRX performance!!! :)
You know as soon as Tickford get those donks in from US they immediately pull them down and rebuild them to get them to the 220kw power rating. if I believe what people tell me then these engines are the rejects from the us ford explorer range?
they're switching to ohc engines later in the year anyway arent they?

We used the L series until '85? But I guess Nissan knew when its time was up...

The opposition, HSV VX GTS was 251kw. Monaro GT CVS - 244.5kw. The best of the sad looking cars was a turboed Torana V8 - 338.9Kw ~ 443.95Hp.
