I've seen pictures of a Ford crossflow head on a holden six,

 

and there are drag cars with this done too.

 

Just wondering if anyone here still have this conversion,

 

 to show us some more pictures of this modification?

 

Here are a few links that have bits and pieces on the subject:-

Hello Blair,

 

Do you know what motor is in her?

 

Would think it is a crossbreed.

or is it a photo shop job.

That is a real car, it is a HQ sedan with an ugly nose grafted on. NZ radio statio from memory.

Ah OK Yel, thank-you,

 

I guess there is a V8 in there.

Come on Dave, I appreciate something new to read now & then, but how about make it YOUR engine build thread!

Chop chop, buildy buildy!

Yes this was a request Jonesy,

 

But the 'Rat Engine' will happen.

I'm pretty sure Bob Ridley had an old 202 powered drag rail with a ford x-flow head on it. He might still have it, I haven't been out there for like 10yrs but there must be some other guys on here that know Bob...

Great man Garth,

 

hopefully someone has more information for us.

 

Trying to get some extra pictures for this thread myself.

Great work Jon,

 

Oldjohnno is the best man for the job.

Might be a silly question, but wouldn't it be easier to fit the whole Ford engine? Surely the Ford engine would be stronger in the bottom end. One of the later (like FG) turbo engines maybe?

Dont know why you would bother putting a ford head on a Holden 6 seriously
but a fool and his money

A Folden has Ford parts,

 

 or as Tim said in chat, about a racer he knows,

 

 has Holden pistons and conrods in a Ford L6 block.

 

 So a 9" diff in the rear end of a Holden is the same thing.

 

 

 

 

Edit:-

 

Even the hoppers big brake kit has Ford calipers.

Might as well put a Chev badge on the grill, fit a supra box and put Toyota on the bootlid. (Poofs)

[N/A-PWR]

Funny that Rob,

 

a Holden guy would put a Chev badge on the grille,

 

but not a Toyota badge on the boot, hmm.

 

All about hiding the fact why you are faster then your opponent.

 

 

 

Look at Gene, he has a GM saginaw box in the GTR.

Its still a GM box Davo

Not a gay supra box

The question still stands though, wouldn't it be easier to transplant say an FG XR6 engine than try to graft the Ford head onto the red6? Taking aside of course one's unholy attraction to said red6's? Personally I wouldn't bother with either and just fit a V8, but that is another matter.

Not defending Gene, but HK-HG Holden had Saginaw boxes fitted as standard.
