The cousin of a mate of mine has a torana he uses for hillclimbs, he got a 250 crank reground to fit in the 202, so it still looks original, just goes a lot better... Not exactly a ford engine in a holden, but part thereof...

Have you guys ever seen a Ford in a Holden, Ive seen plenty of Chevs in Fords, and in XYs aswell, it really is a slap in the face, so now its time to expose the Ford powered Holdens once and for all and give one back for all the Ford fans out there!
VB commo i think youll find

Straying from Holdens a bit, but keeping the Ford engine theme...

In 2002 while out in the outta suburbs of town and my then g/fs place I was out the front yard and could hear the nice roar of a V8 getting closer.
The main road wasnt too far away so i looked in that direction only to see a small red coupe hurtle past and it wasnt a Ford or Holden!

A few months later I snapped these at the local swap meet... the very same car.



A nice old 626!



Now thats a sleeper!

Im not sure what happened to it, as I havent seen it in years now

i think that was a common one for getting a bit more grunt in the holden 6`s, my mate had a falcon crank machined to fit in his 186 that was fitted into a ht monaro, from memory it was 235 ci.

I'm just waiting for the day someone throws a Barra Turbo into a VL.

I remember seeing I think it was a HZ, might have been a HX a couple of years ago with a XF 250 Cross Flow.

slightly off topic, some donkeys years ago, we put a 202 into a land rover, and a 250 ford donk into a FJ toyota. All went well.

That sounds suspiciously like the HO with the 202 red motor fitted, was found in a barn years ago and featured in Street Machine at the time, still got the mag stored away I think....

Cool Ford into a Holden
I can remember back in about 1964 there was an FJ running around the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne with a Customline V8 that left no room for the starter it was inside the mud guard
also the HJ Kingswood with the rotary that was mentioned
that was called a Mazda Road Pacer as I recall the bodies were shipped to Japan and fitted with rotaries
Thanks John
