Those inline 6 aussie motors can make stupid power. This isnt anything new?

The Ford Performance Vehicles team from Australia(before Ford Performance global as we now know it) had a bunch of Australia only engines and cars that were insane. Check out the FPV Typhoon F6. It used the "Barra" engine and made north of 400hp in factory tune.

Love the Barra engine, I've wanted to buy a supra and swap one in forever. (Note it would be a tough fit because the barra is a pretty tall engine)

Probably not - didn't realise that the level of knowledge of these was so high here, just saw it in my FB feed and thought HF!
So I wanted to share the runs...

I've wanted to get the SOHC version from the late 80s to early 90s, carb it and turbo it, and put it in an early 50s Ford wagon.

I've considered importing one of those engines. I love I-6s.

x100.

If this motor was available in a 2018 mustang I would have likely went l6 instead of the coyote.

I6 motors also sound unbelievably good at full song. Pretty much why I have wanted to own a CBX forever.

No need to import, just get a 72 300 straight 6 out of an f100.

My first car (81 Mustang GL) was a 200 c.i. I6 with a 4 speed.
