I've owned it for nearly 7 years ...and I have recently been able to fulfil my dream combo for this car, a full Barra F6 DOHC conversion.Power is just a tad under 300 rwkw at 12 psi.Here are some pics..Hope you like ...cheers guys 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the interior but I'm not really set on those silver accents, or the black ones on the exterior. Bet it goes like a cut cat though.Did you do the conversion yourself? Much work involved?

The Black leather seats that you see in there now came from an AU XR6, with a few modifications needed to fit them.As for the Black accents, I will be getting that toned-down a fair whack in the near future ...it's only paint, lol.The car was sent over East for most of the work, with me researching, and buying the motor and all of the parts ...obviously there are a few mods thrown into the combo, AVO cooler kit & crossovers, 3" exhaust system, 3" X-force dump pipe, 60lb injectors, Process West Bosch 040 pump & surge tank, Flapper Wastegate mod & 12 psi actuator, XCal3 tuned.Yes, it goes very nicely ...cheers mate.

T5 probably won't last too much longer if that's what's in it.As for your posting issue. PM one of the mods to see if they can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-frame also had to be cut and welded / reinforced, along with modification to the engine mounts ...the bonnet clears no problem. The goal was to have it looking factory under the bonnet ...with a few supporting mods thrown in.Still running the factory T5, through an AU bellhousing and a cushion button clutch. I only take this car out on 'spirited' drives at the weekends ...and everything is holding up just fine so far at this power level. When things do let go, my options will be a T56 6-spd, A5 gearset rebuild, or a C4 auto lol.She brings a smile to my face every time I drive her, and she flogs / scares the crap out of a fair few cars lol ...not something a lot of people would expect from a 16 yo Falcon.Cheers for fixing my status Dagabond!!
