Ep10. XY FORD FALCON CLEVELAND STROKER V8 . 351 NO MORE ! 410ci WITH AUSSIE CHI ALLOY 3v HEADS.

THE XY WAS IN 2 EPISODES PREVIOUSLY , THE HOIST VIDEO AND THE 351 TO 410 CLEVELAND SWAP VIDEO . THIS TIME WE RUN THROUGH SOME SPECS AND ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS.
SO WHAT IS BACKSHED ALL ABOUT ?
WE ARE ALL ABOUT SAVING OLD CLASSIC CARS AND MODIFIYING SOME ALONG THE WAY TOO.
WE LOVE THE CLASSIC RESCUE , FIRST WASH ,FIRST START IN YEARS TYPE OF THING, GETTING OLD JUNK RUNNING AND DRIVING THEN PUT BACK ON THE ROAD AFTER YEARS OF BEING LEFT TO ROT IS WHAT WE DO.
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOUR INTO FORD , HOLDEN , CHEVY , BIG BLOCK SMALL BLOCK OR ANYTHING IN BETWEEN WE MIGHT HAVE A VIDEO FOR YOU TO WATCH. IVE HAVE AND HAVE HAD A LOT OF CARS INCLUDING XB COUPE , XY FACLON GT , EH HOLDEN , F100 , VB COMMODORE , HQ SEDAN AND WAGON , CORTINA , VALIANT AND SO MANY MORE SO THERE IS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE. IN ON OF OUR VIDEOS I PRETTY MUCH WENT TO HEAVEN FINDING A WRECKING YARD / JUNKARD WHERE THERE WAS EVERYTHING YOU COULD DREAM OF INCLUDING A MONARO , CHARGER , VALIANT PACER , A FALCON COUPE , TORANA , CADILLAC , SOME CHEVY'S EVEN SOME JDM CARS LIKE DATSUN , NISSAN SKYLINE , MITSUBISHI SCORPION BUT IT DIDN'T STOP THERE EVEN 4X4 LIKE A HJ 45 TOYOTA LANDCRUISER AND A 60 SERIES WAGON . I REALLY HAVE NO BIAS I LOVE RESCUING THEM ALL SO DO STICK AROUND AS YOUR BOUND TO SEE SOMETHING YOU LIKE. CHEERS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WATCH . MICK

Really enjoyed that! My Dad built a XY 351 GT Replica and took me to school in it everyday. Hes a boat guy now and sees cars as money pits, but what i would give to build him somthing similar and have him drive it! Memories! Cheers!

Just have to say that at my time of life's end, I won't be digging into any mechanicals on my vehicles... BUT, I have a wonder about them. To hear you speak about this and or that as to the inner-workings is fascinating and your manner of doing so is, well just so laid back and real. Friendly like, as if we're best mates and I'm the lame nutter of the two that knows nothing but always asks my mate, 'WHY' with that quizzical lost look in his eyes.

I don't understand replicas. It isn't and never will be what it purports to be. You've made a great car but displayed it as a GT. And I hate the term "tribute." My thoughts probably come from a mate who is building his 3rd Elanor. And to make that even worse he began with a mint coupe. Having opened my gob there, I do enjoy your show.

[@shaindaman13]

I wish we had kept the Falcon nameplate over here. It’s funny how Aussie guys don’t mind a four door hard top. They actually come with lime Gt performance packs over there did they not? They never did that with a f4 door cars in the US. Those were family cars. The muscle cars were always 2 door hard top. I think it’s cool you guys did that though.

[@backshed5295]

I think the market over here just found 4 door more saleable/ practical so if that’s what sold that’s what they produced. We have very few 2 door cars. 🍺👍
