[@Aussiemade420]

I mean, where do we draw the line? Is sucking your cousins tits ok? Asking for a mate.

If a Commodore can put in a Barra then why not this? Good for you bro...

[@RossReviewsau]

Spot on eh

[@dpgemail]

Fords have been using chevy engine for swaps for years

[@adamtricarico8624]

As a Ford purist, I can only say WHAT THE HELL, how awesome is this thing. The drivers response says it all! giddy as a pig in...

[@RossReviewsau]

Loved the owner he was a legend.. 0 cares about anyone else thinks

[@MalooBadger]

First time I want to complain about one of your vids, it wasn't long enough..!! Love the look, colour looks the dogs, and the sound, awesome sound. Engine bay is so crisp and clearly thought through. LS in a Falcon, fine by me.

[@RossReviewsau]

Glad you enjoyed it I’ll try n make it longer 🤣

[@AusOpenBodybuilding]

Its cool as but im on the fence with this one. 🤔

[@RossReviewsau]

It’s hot man in person 🔥

[@RossReviewsau]

Hot colour eh

it’s an awesome build and sounds even better than it looks; can’t complain about the best v8 swapped into the best sedans

[@RossReviewsau]

Goes hard

[@timorcher5417]

Absolutely love it. Definitely something different and to see that little power launch at the start. Awesome response. Beautiful install. Nothing else needs to be said.

[@RossReviewsau]

Glad you enjoyed it! Epic build

[@deltaforceshuttles3749]

There is nothing wrong with this at all! Couldn’t ask for a better combination! The LS is a good engine and GM’s version of the Barra!

[@jamesfrench7299]

Interesting mix. You can hear Holden coming out of this Ford. Too funny. Engine looks like it was made to go in that bay.

[@D-DAY]

Falcadore

[@RossReviewsau]

😂🗿

[@fredssledshed]

What a sick car! Engine bay is a work of art, such attention to detail. Nice!

[@RossReviewsau]

Couldn't agree more!

[@shaydanwason1495]

The LS and the Barra are both legendary!!, who really cares which engine is in what car 😎, and gotta say as a Holden guy, this model falcon is one of the best looking cars in my opinion 👌.

[@BBGuitars]

Nice clean build, good on him for stepping sideways.

[@danielreynolds6498]

Wow cool !!! would make both camps happy if you know what a mean. And as soon as it revs you know it’s not a ford V8.

[@RossReviewsau]

I reckon it’s great eh

[@markblackwell7927]

Love the engine bay...sounds tuff...each to there own...i like it ...the owner is happy....thats all that matters...great review Johnny......nothing wrong with different.....

The engine bay is beautiful

Cool build and that engine bay looks shmicko 🤩

😂

[@UnknownHitter]

Ford man all-day! But dude props to you that's a tuff and respected build!👌

[@RossReviewsau]

No doubt gotta respect it

[@ESISTTIGER]

And due to the fact the falcon platform only being able to accommodate an uneven length dual exhaust it makes it sound different to most other LS as well Sounds more like a 302

[@RossReviewsau]

Interesting 🤔 didn’t know that

[@myxrutefalcon269]

I'm actually in the middle of doing a lsa style conversion on my sy2 territory . So no controversy here love it. I'm a ford guy but a good engine is a good engine 👌 😎

[@grantcamp9672]

i was thinking of ls swapping my au

[@RossReviewsau]

Do it!

[@tturi2]

literally a better windsor,

[@bucksrchamps2775]

Do it😅

[@O8OO_Hotline]

Fuckin sick, only gripe i have is the sound of the exhuast, abit to raspy/tinny

[@dpgemail]

I noticed that, he needs HSV muffler

[@LV-FOURTWENTYSIX]

If you could do a coyote or miami swap for the same price id say its sacrilegious but you cant so im not angry. It makes sense, if you want a fast v8 get an LS, if you want a fast 6 get a barra nothing comes close hp per $. Although i will just say Cleveland's sound the best 😉

[@malsmith2012]

Thanks for detailing the exhaust I was wondering what it was as it sounds awesome..

[@RossReviewsau]

Sounds great

[@pete508]

What is this Frankenford blow it up nah just kidding lol,it's beautiful man I love it I've never seen a LS Ford swap before,the owner has looked outside of the box & has come up with a masterpiece so well done buddy 🤝 another home run review cheers brother 🙏

[@RossReviewsau]

Goes hard looks good what’s not to like

[@955rider03]

Not a normally a fan of mixing, but that's a good mod ❤ love a barra but that sounds so good

A nice engine in a good car = Winning!

[@RossReviewsau]

You got that right!

[@briansymes2936]

As a B series owner I’m horrified but I wish we had the LS as it’s a better engine to modify

[@meatpuppet666]

You guys are so good together that was so fun. You should do more stuff together trying different cars. I'd watch it :D

[@Twenty_Six_Hundred]

It's done well and looks good, only gripe i have is LS swaps are so common.

[@RossReviewsau]

Not in a B series tho😂

[@dw2176]

man that starter sounds weird coming from a falcon lol. Awesome video, sounds great!

[@RossReviewsau]

It does!

[@turboluck2046]

Doesn't matter what you prefer, cant deny a good engine in good looking car, same as Barra commodores, good engine in a decent looking car. its 2024, we can all get along

Absolutely 💯

Loving LS swap into Ford especially there not lot Ford sixes are left, i rekon you see more of these conversions been cheaper Mustang 5.0lt V8. Hell yeah, like Ford taxis with LS swap, TAXI.

[@darranschnepf8076]

Now that's pretty cool and I'm a ford man,sounds good too

[@RossReviewsau]

Definitely goes hard

[@olik9388]

That Ford identifies as a Holden. Love it 😂😂😂 great review! We could have a field day in the comments with this one… But an awesome and very unique ride. I think the technical term for that operation is an ‘adadicktome’.

It's no longer " Love It Or Hate It ". If its possible then Do It. Barra Swap has been done on Commodore and LS Swap has been done on a Falcon. Anybody out there that has Money$ try to so a 5.7 HEMI Swap on a Falcon or commodore. It may be possible ?

@@Stickboimun people use Barras because there cheap junk not because there good...turbo ls way better then a turbo wheel Barra.

[@Stickboimun]

​@@Lifeat90 it's a cheap but well built engine, while it's convenient to put more power in a v8, with a I6 you can achieve that same result. the barra is great because like similar i6, it's balanced, strong at low-end torque and simple to work with.

[@Lifeat90]

@@Stickboimun the Barra balanced 😂😂 don't even compare it to other i6 engines.its that unbalanced you can't keep bolts it in.the sleeves are hit and miss.its a shit design witb a 5 foot timing chain.the head is not even on right.its a slap together hodge bodge of ford going broke.its cheap junk. there is a reason Toyota is on the top of its game...and Japan s engineering is 50 years Infront of ford.give it a rest the Barra is shit..
