"Thats an XR8 ute (I think), I imagine it's been modded though. The latest ones are powered by a 350hp 5.4l quad cam V8."
since im from the u.s. would this be the same engine found in the lincoln Navigator,since there are 2 versions a Sohc 5.4L intech v8 and 5.4L quadcam? do you guys have mercury cars out there? what about lincoln? do you guys understand " Yo' Couch?" are there any cars that feature the new 4.6 V8 3 valve enginges as found in stateside stangs? |

Hi nfocus
Ford Oz used to run the SOHC 5.4 V8 in their luxury models (Fairmont, Fairmont Ghia) but that engine has been dropped from the lineup. The XR8 and GT run a locally re-built version of the quacam 5.4 V8 (dubbed BOSS 260 and BOSS 290/302) We dont have Mercury, Lincolns out here. Yo' couch means your couch (?) We only get the 5.4 litre V8s out here, never gotten the 4.6ers Cheers, Rob. |

We used the OHC 3 valver (295hp) as an optional base V8 across the rest of the Falcon range, I have one in my car. Like The_Fantastic_Ford mentioned, this has been discontinued now since they have stopped production over there. Plus they didn't sell in huge numbers because our base 6cyl is quite powerful and torquey anyway. We have Explorers but I'm not sure what version of the 4.6 they run. That is the only car. We briefly imported the Mustang Cobra in 2002 but it didn't last long. The only Mustangs we have here besides those are privately imported. We dont have Mercury or Lincoln, just Ford. Same for GM stuff, we dont have Chevy or Buick or Cadillac just Holden which is like all of those rolled into one. Actually, you guys have had some of our Holdens over there rebadged as other brands. The Pontiac GTO is actually a rebadged Holden Monaro that has had a new nose grafted on it and the new Pontiac G8 is a rebadged Holden Commodore SS with a different nose.

Our Boss motors are a bit different from the Navigator. We use a similar bottom end but Cobra heads, different cams and different exhaust and intake manifolds.
