I've got nothing against ford or holden, although I'm a bit partial towards
fords. I just wish from an engineering point of view that they would look
to the future rather than keep dwelling on the past. My little brother with
the XY ute is slowly having a gutfull of the 351 clevo and seriously looking
at dropping a Lexus V8 into it and maybe twin turboing later
on................................. i reckon that would be absolutely cool!
HHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMM quad cam, twin turbo, injected, V8.
