Yeah, it's a nice engine. Could get one shipped over but shipping will hurt.

Isn't that the Trainblazer Vortec 4200 engine?

Good question, I was thinking it was the engine from the Ford Falcon XR6. Sold in Australia.

Very much so. In Australia it's sold as a family sedan, "ute" (pickup truck), panel van, and several very high performance models. The XR6 Turbo has a nice turbo'ed I6. The XR8 is a V8. There's also the Ford Performance Vehicle models (FPV is like our SVT) which include the Falcon GT, GTP, and the Pursuit/Typhoon utes.
