THIS Runs 8’s? – Perfect Aussie Sleeper!

There are some sleepers out there that you suspect might have something done, but if you saw this 1997 Ford Falcon cruising down the street it would not be one of them. Under the Hood (Bonnet) you’re immediately greeted with what at a glance, appears to be a Naturally Aspirated V8 gently tucked in the engine bay. Ok, fair enough…but wait, is that an air bypass valve? Right about there you start to realize that there is a lot more to this setup than you anticipated, or at least we did. Following the plumbing around some we wound up at the back of this Austrailia native Ford UTE (Coupe Utility Vehicle) where we found where the magic happens! Tucked down deep in the bed of this old farm truck are two 69MM Borg Warner turbo’s that quickly made us aware this car was in no way slow! Seeing a setup like this leads to a lot of questions and we started asking them. Follow this Aussie’s journey through Hot Rod’s Drag Week 2017 with us to see what a week of torture does to the spirits of a Drag Week newbie!

  1. At 0:58 Not true. This model came with an option of a 4.0i Alloy head straight six or the 5.0i Windsor V8. There are plenty of these around in Oz in both 6 & 8 cylinder variety. LS twin turbo = Wank wank, say no more. Use a Ford motor ffs.

  2. imagine…. just flying ur backyard blaster over to another country and just driving across and competing in drags… glorious

  3. What a load of shit. where did this guy pull this shit about power to weight ratios. That only applies if your a learner or probational driver. Look up Rod Hadfield. He had a hot rod that was around 3000hp street legal with registration. You cant just put 1000hp in a rusty car thats falling apart but if its done correctly and ticks all the boxes theres no issues.

  4. Thats another fucking country the people let ruin their rights. Part of the problem is they are still part of the British monarchy.

  5. You can technically have modified cars here. You just attract bullshit defect notices. Unless you're building an off-road car, police don't pull rock crawlers over.
