Ep17 XY FALCON DIFF CHANGE AND 1/8TH MILE DRAGS WITH A 410ci CLEVELAND

In this episode we take my XY Falcon ive owned for more than 2 decades to the 1/8th mile drags to see what its new 410ci Cleveland will do .
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

Honestly that was a good shake down for the build. I think the trans did well doing 3 runs pushing that power thru it at its age. Another top video👌

Great vid Mick, apart from all the cool car parts (drags) and technical tips. Best part hands down was seeing your young lad caning the golf buggy just like Dad. Great memories right there.

[@backshed5295]

Hahahahha yeah he loved it . As kids we didn’t have a hell of a lot so he definitely knows how lucky he and my girls are . Funny but when they ask “ can we do this” I always ask myself what would my 10yr old self say !! Hahaha Mud skids in golf carts ! Cheers for watching mate 🍺🍺👍

[@bradtaylor8743]

Good show Mike, we haven’t had a good oil down at Gunnedah for a few years but still appreciate competitors knowing when to call it a day. However it’s a shame you couldn’t make it to day 2 competition. Plenty of close matchups made it a great day. More than happy for you and or your mates to come back again. Keep up the great content. -Meeting Director-

[@backshed5295]

Cheers Brad you guys always put on a great event and thanks for ya effort . We will definitely be back with Mucus and the big block Eh before we get the XY’s trans rebuilt. Feel free to share Backshed around to I’d greatly appreciate it. Cheers mate 🍺🍺👍

[@shaindaman13]

I love how Aussie Blokes call every name ending in “o” or “y” Daniel, is Dano, Tom is Tomo, Cleveland is Clevo. I want some one to call me Shaino just once instead of boring old Shain. That would be so cool. “Hey Shaino let’s have a beer and a kick around with the ol footie.”
