Here she is, my 1987 Ford Falcon XF GL.
250 Crossflow engine. She's an EFI model but running a 350 Holley on a redline intake manifold. 3 speed Borg Warner box that goes alright for now.
Mods already done:
-Factory wheels swapped with some 12 slotters running 225s up the front and 245s out the back.
-Bull bar removed, nicely might I add, so all mounts are intact if I want to sell or put em back on.
-Mounted an AFR gauge that I had lying round under the steering wheel.
Here's mods list for short term:
- New lowering springs front and rear, not super lows
- New shocks to suit springs
- New wheel bearings
- New disk rotors
- New ball joints
- New Nolethane bushes all round (too stiff and noisy, thoughts???)
- New tie rods and ends
- Eb V8 rear diff 3.27 ratio LSD (wider by 10mm but should be sweet)
- EF/EL sedan tailshaft
Here's the longer term mods:
- BF Barra N/A
- Matched 4 speed btr
- Tailshaft to suit
- Engine and box mounts (Thoughts on Tuff Mounts, Rod Shop or another brand???)
- Front sway bar to clear barra sump. Most likely buy new
- Loom to suit
- Standalone ecu or reflash stock Barra (not sure yet)
- Manualized shift kit
- B&M ratchet shifter
- Get it engineered (this is where the list will get bigger)
- Rust remove and respray
If you've made it this far, maybe you'd like to pick any of this rough plan apart! Any criticism welcomed.
Cheers.
