I mentioned before in the thread but not only would the Barra become more popular in the U.S . but the older Intech and VCT SOHC too . Been seeing some ridiculous power increase figures for the older girls of late provided a proper upgrade to key components are done as with the Barra .
This U.S. bloke loves the Aussie Ford engines and he's done quite a few vids on his progress with the old Intech from an AU I believe ..Building it to get somewhere near 1000 rwhp.. Buying stuff from here too but also making some clever upgrades to the thrust bearing etc as well ..
