I think this question came up a few months ago and it was confirmed that it does use stronger engine componets, such as those used by the Phoon's.I think the T engines in the BF's are now like the ZF gear box. . .

Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 22y 9d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 29/09/06 10:01 AM Share Posted 29/09/06 10:01 AM I'm told that the XR6T uses the same rods as the F6 and LPG Falcon. From what I understand these conrods are all exactly measured and examined the perfect rods go to the F6's the less than perfect rods go to the others.
