The specs are in my signature.
The roller cam is only small but small for a roller is not exactly small it has 620 lift.It has forged pistons . roller rockers , stainless steel valves . The 4 v's also have the inlet tongues fitted. It has an 850 dp holley but that is a bit to big for it .I have only driven it a handfull of times so I haven't realy got used to it yet but so far I am happy it seems to go pretty well.

Oh and I just thought I would mention that the paint is around 15 years old . I bought it that way all I have done is the running gear and put the wheels on it.

Yeah money(or lack of it) picked those rims. I got them a while ago for my xc ute and for the price they where the best looking rims I could find(I wanted a bit of a dish in them) . There was not much of a choice of 16 inch budget price rims to fit old falcons back then . They are actually 4wd rims from bob jane.

Dont say that my wife loves chargers you might start giving her ideas. It would have to be a pretty hot 265 to foot it with this coupe  :

As I said the outside looked like that when I got it . The guy I got it of had it restored around 15 years ago. It took 3 years to get the running gear done because I stuffed up my back just after I got it and it sat around for allmost 2 years.

Looks sweet! The old XA-XC coupes in my opinion, were one of the best designs ever to come out of the Ford factory. That particular car looks really tidy.

Nice.But I would start saving for an FMX asap,with a few ponies to spare you might find that the FMX doesnt mind the extra.I have a pile of C4 stories, and none of them nice.The tricked FMX with a shift kit has been just perfect,allowing me to blow all my dosh on other parts for the XY wagon.
