When people hear "540 cubes" they immediately think Big Block Chev but not in this car, Rob Giangrave's XR Falcon ute is running Ford power thanks to the team at Dandy Engines.

[@watsisbuttndo829]

Having friends with cleveland powered early x series falcons i wondered how the hell you got a twin turbo big block in that bay, but then i saw the missing shock towers and tray full of plumbing. Nice work gents.

[@adamwarner4590]

Great show. Thanks

[@MrArty250]

What an absolute animal . Love the last run we’re u can see the chassis holding on to dear life so it Dosent twist from the power . Looks so tough that front end turbo setup . Top job

[@Rybagz]

Sounds like it's using maybe 2/3rds or less of the boost it's capable of.

[@devilspen4892]

Nice job boys

[@martyimpatientclownhayton4763]

omfg 😯🔥

[@bloodykills7509]

What engine block does it use? Is it aftermarket?

[@STREETMACHINETV]

It is aftermarket, I believe it's a Ford Motorsport block

[@GRPABT1]

Nek minnut...twin 94's.

[@richardporter4281]

GT falcon gold best color for an XR

[@CoyoteFTW]

1,500hp she is EATING

[@fwucku]

Hmm i wonder if this will ever have as much power as franks falcon?

[@asjmpickle]

Those wastegates on some dangerous real estate.

[@paulcoote3094]

They will unbolt that whole front exhaust for street duties

[@asjmpickle]

@@paulcoote3094 more worried about when the front end hits the ground after a wheelie.

[@arkhsm]

@@asjmpickle That's what I was thinking to !!

[@timburary]

Weapon fuckin Weapon

[@KenOath1234]

BONNNNNNNN-KERS

The dislikes are teens with VT commy posters on their wall.

Dads Ute 2.0

[@MafiaboysWorld]

Aww, no one has said, "gEt MoRe PoWeR WiTh a 2k BaRrA!" 😮‍💨 I'm disappointed with all of you KZbin commenters. 😐😛

[@asjmpickle]

Barras are awesome but this suits a big block so much more.

[@MafiaboysWorld]

@@asjmpickle No disagreement from me, but I expected the "2K bArRa" bogan comments already, like every other Ford video. That's why I'm disappointed. 😉😁

[@tuicr8992]

If it was a Chev or an LS engine, they'd be there alright😁😁

[@xbgtfella]

Mancheese is the man....builds mad donks.....

[@dinosshed]

Not a fan of speed humps when your turbo nuts hang low like that.

[@noduh736]

Ah a ford car with a Ford motor not an LS this is how it is supposed to be take notes LS swappers sweet car

[@boogymanslayer4079]

Holy shit,I got a chubby now

[@gossy351]

FKN MINT!!!

[@BenPress]

That's naaaasty.

[@georgecupac1202]

i wouldn't mind a 700hp N/A car.

[@MeaHeaR]

Onyá Kobblerzz

[@adhd1878]

You will go faster if u supercharge it

[@7071t6]

lol what omg only 1200 hp yet the small block franks is over 2.5k hp to get to 6 seconds mate your going to have to really open it up, you have to get at least to over 2.5k hp figures to get down to 6's and that's if you can get the grip based on which tyres your going to run drag radials glass and what about pro st class?

[@arkhsm]

I agree, but it did post a bit more respectable 1,553 hp on that last run

[@7071t6]

why not use the 7.3 Godzilla engine and open it up and put some real goodies in it and then twin turbo it, that way people can see what can be achieved with little effort for hot rodding, i bet someone will do it soon, i hope so otherwise the engine is a waste of space?

[@adhd1878]

You would of gone faster with a supercharger mate

[@TheTeeroy32]

You know, just a lazy 1.1Mw at the wheels, nothing to see here lol

[@dionbrown8064]

Another good car ruined.
