Australian MkIII Cortina with the 250ci - the Turbo Barra would be an easy swap

Those 250 Cortinas used to go hard, they were the sleeper of the 70s'.

VH Valiant Pacer sedan, with 265 and 3 speed manual. Mind you, the things did move out in each of the 3 gears.

Another car that used to go hard was a Chrysler Centura with a 265 Hemi engine.
Another car (don't laugh) was a Mitusbishi Magna V6. I had a TR 3 litre V6 and later on I brought a TJ 3.5 litre V6 both went like bullet. In a motor magazine April 1999 it says that "The Sports Magna V6 equals the HSV XU8 400 metre sprint time. Another car was a plain XY Falcon with the K-Code which is a Falcon a non GT fitted with a 351 Cleveland V8 with a two barrel carburettor. The engine could be paired with either an automatic or manual transmission. |

Ford did the turbo 4 cylinder with AWD in a small car but it didn't sell that many
  Subaru repeated the same formula only a few years after Ford and the WRX became a cult car.
