I reckon it would have some pretty sweet gains. My other idea - retro fit the xt-t into a mk5 cortina! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will do fine for a runaround. I just can't imagine a nearly 2 tonne barge powered by a four banger. Blech. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maitland Posted 13/04/12 03:04 AM Share Posted 13/04/12 03:04 AM It makes a good deal of torque for an engine its size and certainly is an impressive piece of tech but in a Falcon?..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
