Boosted Falcon

Thought I'd make a thread of a my rides I'm looking at getting an e-series when I sell the jag but for now this is what I got.

This is my pride n joy.
1979 TE cortina, I've lost count on how much I've spent on it, but here it is.

It's got a t5, worked 250 + a shit load more.



















And here is my current daily cruise mobile that will soon be replaced by an EB-ED.

Love the Corty mate.
+1 for the pimp machine jag!

Can't beat the carby lumpiness. Pulls a farken good skid!

gotta love the jags, they try to have so much class...

i don't think there has ever been a time where i've gone for a drive with u in the cort and not felt the sensation that we were driving on ice/oil

lol, a pod & subs in a Jag!

Love the rims on the cortina mate, and that's a farken sweet graph! That >> my n/a 5.0. Taken her to the strip yet to see what she'll run?

Nah haven't taken it to the strip yet, I've seen some one wit the same power pull off a 12.7 with drag radials + auto.

So if I'm around the 13.3 I'll be happy.

That's one tough 250 mate, well done!

Nice jag too.

Excellent, go the Cortina!

Replacing the Jag with an E-Series is a good plan. Get a nice tidy Ghia of some description for a daily.

Welcome aboard.

that courtina fuking boots we had an old cortina wagin lol but it was a rust bucket beast what have you actualy done to the engine

Fully balanced crank.
200 crossflow conrods (longer rods so shorter lighter piston)
ACL race series pistons to suit 200 rod, around 10.4:1 comp.
Mild port and polished head
Crow valve train
Oversized hardened steel valves
230 @ 50 wade cam

It peak powers at around 5400rpm happily revs to 6500 if you stretch the gears out and can drive it up hills in 3rd gear at 1800rpm without it labouring, gotta love ford 6 torque.

The car still has a fixed engine fan and standard rockers.

I have made a aluminium radiator shroud for some thermos so i can **** the fixed fan off and still need to buy some roller rockers for it.

Once thermos and rollers are on should be around the 175rwkw+

>175rwkw from a 250... daaaaaaamn! Even in its current guise it's putting a fair few 3.9/4.0s to shame. I can't believe you haven't farked the fixed fan off already...

I love Cortina's

My cousin had one in canberra, used to love going out in that thing.
pulled the fattest burn outs and would throw you back in your seat that hard.

pretty sure it had a worked XF engine in it.

went nutz.

Looks like you bought this thing. Nice work. Any plans for it besides more lowering?

Nice pick up mate.I can see this thing looking prity mad dumped more and with a ba xr8 bonnet buldge mmmmmmm

Next thing I'll do is LSD, it NEEDS it.
Suspension comes after that, I'm surprised how well this thing goes.

thats the only thing i missed out on with this car aaron u gotta let me take it for spin once u put the lsd in, looks really good in ur driveway man.

$80 all up so not to bad, changed the rocker cover gasket too.

took the car out for a spin just then, gets a bit slippery in the wet LS's every where in 2nd and 3rd.
I'm adding more things to the to do list, but I gotta get stuck into the corty cause it's off the road at the moment.

Did a little photoshoot today.
Was using night mode on phone camera so pics aren't the best.
