Gday from Down Under Australia 1977 XC Ford Sedan going Pro Tour look

[bushboy100]

Hi all,

Newto the forum and new to the Pro T scene sort of. I have an XC Ford Falcon Rally Pack made here in OZ in 1977 and have inserted a few pics for you all to have a look at. Car currenlty set up with a 434 stroker Cleveland 400 ci with windsor crank forged pistons, CHI heads/inlet and a host other bits to make good power (700 FWHP) currently in n/a form. Old motor was a 351 cleveland (factory) that I had worked and fitted a vortec V2 centra blower and intercooler with water/meth injection. It made good power also. Car is currenlty fitted with a 2 speed powerglide, transbrake , 4800 stall and nine inch with 4:11 gears/true trac centre. (factory was 4 speed top loader and nine inch 3:00 ratio)

Good fun on the street and down the strip (10.5 et) but now looking to set up with a 6 speed and wilwood brakes, bigger wheels (currently with Co nvoPros at 15 inches) like the look of the amercian racing salt flats withthe grey centre @ 17 or 18 inches.



So I hope to get some good info from the froum, see some of the wicked rides you good folk have built up, share my story with you all and make some friends along the way if I am lucky.

Have a look at my car, will be different from what you are all used to over there and see how we do it he in OZ and maybe just maybe you might learn somethinig from me.

Thanks

Old 351 having the intercooler fitted up, not long after this plans for the 434 were hatched.

Welcome to the site! Nice looking car! I think the sedans are more popular in OZ than they are here in the States. Keep us posted!
