This is it. Bara foxbody mustang.

Meeting Ben Neal in 2018 was a blast honestly with hindsight if the F6 Ute had of got out of customs we probably would of failed to finish (it blew a box on trip home from QLD on return trip) I asked Ben to build us a Drag Week car to enjoy and finish the week He more than delivered results speak for them self's Massive thanks Phil Neal Ben Neal Ben Wood Allan Butler Al drinks all the beer

[@BigPermGarage]

Anything with a Barra under the hood is my favorite combo

[@Adam-yh9xt]

XR6T. Such a shame, no longer made. We didn't know what we had, until was gone..

[@fullboost]

Great video :)

[@haltech]

Thanks guys!

[@twisted2291]

From 1979 to 1982 the Fox Body Mustangs had a 200 (3.3L) Inline Six in them as one of 4 engines you could get. So the Barra make perfect since to slide right in one of them.

[@haltech]

So true! We kinda wish the new Stang came with a Barra too instead of the four....

[@JD-eo7dr]

@@haltech Gutted the Barra wasn't available in the UK the falcons would have sold well to tuners and there RHD.

[@yanuardhana6457]

Al's hand are magic, with Benny are combo double. Stoked watch build vlog at TSF. Ford mustang with barra from another ford, spicy...

[@jayknight139]

Valve springs, oil pump, Pistons and rods and 1200hp is pretty wild. Most engines including the 2jz would require more money to get up to that hp reliably.

[@TuffMounts]

Great Vid Guys!, Haltech for the Win!!!, Benny (2) Has some awesome advice that needs to be listened to for anyone contemplating a Barra,

[@haltech]

Looking forward to doing a video on yours when it's finished:)

If they still made Cortinas but didn't rust out barra that !! Should fit straight in ..make a great combom !!!

[@smithy2]

The front of the fox body always reminds me of the XF falcons, even the dash

[@haltech]

There are definitely some similarities there! Must the 1980s styling:)

[@smithy2]

@@haltech well it was a great decade 😁 👍🏼 another great video well done

[@haltech]

Thanks:)

[@joshacollins84]

Funny you say that, because I think XF Falcon reminds me for the Fox Body Mustang. 🤔😁

[@pjpro2202]

Another Awesome Barra Build Boi'z👏👏

[@bvward]

Al Butler doing Al Butler stuff, without a lemon squash. Too expensive to ship over, unless you hide them in the cylinder bores. Hope the crew come stateside again soon.

[@NickTaylorRickPowers]

Barra the world

[@Ryan-hf9qz]

Also you can't see it in videos but it has a wicked pearl in the paint

You can see it better in pictures, but nothing beats seeing the beast up close:) www.haltech.com/a-marriage-made-in-heaven-barra-powered-foxbody-mustang/

[@bryanabel9759]

I’m a kiwi incandescent live for this

[@RyTrapp0]

I keep trying to tell these boys, ol girl needs a Baseline Suspension 'Outlaw' rear arm kit, the adjustability would help them get more aggressive off the line. They're a nice setup to work with. Those old school lift bars work - but Baseline's adjustable setup works better! REEEEAAALLY want this car... or maybe I just need a Barra...

[@chaplad25]

absolutely froth the 4L badge off an e series? on the front guards, nice touch

[@jord9308]

Great job, guys!

[@Brendanvyner]

What really shocked me was when you said a VE SS commodore radiator was used on a 1200HP 8s drag car. Is the OEM VE SS radiator that good?

[@hcfcustoms]

Awsome machine 💪👌👍

[@chrisbruton5937]

Ford or Holden.... You can't possibly argue with the barra. Designed engineered built here in Australia. No ls

[@TheSippincoffee]

[@Lunatech04]

Ford! Put this engine in the new ford bronco!!!

[@haltech]

Yep.

[@lucrebec727]

Now I live in the US I have the chance to buy an 85 turbo coupe thunderbird could I Berra swap this thing? I know the t bird and Foxbody are are practly the same.

[@Performance-101]

I can't believe that car is still running SSM lower control arms. Not only do they bind a lot, but they also have instant center brackets that raise your instant center a whole lot. They would work much better if you lowered the car more. Try to get the lower control arm parallel with the floor at ride height.

[@BennysCustomWorks]

1.2 60ft’s don’t lie :D

[@Performance-101]

@@BennysCustomWorks That's what I figured, that's what we could get out of them back in the day. You can go a bit quicker if you correct the geometry. You can apply a bit more wheel speed off the hit and keep the front end down while you apply more boost earlier. As an example, my 4.6 2V ran 1.13's on a 275/50 ET Street @ 3120lbs using the TeamZ stuff.

[@elkameleong]

I totally have an extra Fox shell you could’ve picked up in Texas

[@kentbeitel9966]

I wish we got the barra in the states ☹️

[@haltech]

There are few places that import them now. Along with wiring and other bits and pieces.

[@piptyson5512]

Came here not knowing what a Barra was....left wishing we had Barra-goodness built into Fords in the US lol

[@haltech]

You'll be happy to know that Barras are starting to trickle into the US, so you'll be seeing plenty more of them eventually! :)

[@piptyson5512]

@@haltech That would be really cool :) Gonna be watching!

[@TruthHurtLiars]

Haltech unfortunately ford has stopped making barras and falcons are steeply rising in price in Australia

[@ka0sud0ku98]

can I have that motor you pulled out for research purposes for my 92 gt

[@JTC-go3kg]

Any way to get A Barra here in the USA

[@haltech]

We are starting to see a few companies importing them now, but we can't recommend one off the top of our heads.

[@chadtoulouse7006]

I can’t believe he forgot were the car came from and who built it . Naples Florida and it would be faster with the old set up I had in it I had it in high 4s with only spraying 250 shot and built it to hold 600 shot

[@mwhitelaw8569]

When are they coming back up?

[@haltech]

The whole COVID thing messed up everyone's plans, but Benny is pretty keen to come up again.

[@tfrancois6298]

What would it cost to Bring BARRA to the Caribbean, would like to get one

[@haltech]

You would need to contact one of the Australian exporters to check.

[@TruthHurtLiars]

A low k Barra engine from FG series falcon could cost around $1000 in Australia.

[@RR-cg2rq]

Does MCM still own the Evo IX?

[@haltech]

Not any more

[@navdeepsingh527]

Nice and cool engine go up to 1000000 km.it shows reliability Can produce up to 1800 hp Shows how strong it is . Originally coming from FORD FALCON AU Master piece of TAXI in Australia till 2016 . Until stop production of it in Geelong Ford manufacturing factory . End of fine and reliable engine in 2016.

[@Andrew260RS]

Being a Nissan guy, it always looks weird when the intake is on the right.

[@darrensice1550]

This is what they should have done to the mustang in Tokyo drift. The billet block can get you to 2500hp can’t you.
