IIRC you can get a cammer into an XA-XE if you notch the shock towers the same as what ford did with '69-70 BOSS 429's

They are a monster - I have seen/driven/loved one in a '67 'Stang here in Queensland. They do fit, you just need a bigger hammer.
The shy individual who owns it has another '67 with a 427SCJ shoved in there.

I know here in the States there are a few kits for notching the shock towers when putting in something like an RRS suspension or Mustang II in vintage Mustangs. There are already templates and available parts to weld in once the towers are notched. I don't think they would be a direct swap to an XA- XC Falcon but it couldn't be too hard once the Mustang modification was viewed.

The 32 valve 4.6L is a cammer, technically. Even more interesting, it is patterned after a WW II tank engine that Ford built. I am sure most here have seen the video of the 69 Mustang with the tank engine in it; 1,100 HP, 1000 lb. ft. of torque? Ford does offer an engine they call Cammer. It is a 5.0L version of the 4.6L 32 valve... http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts...tKeyField=6787 But I agree. A larger displacement, more old school Cammer would be amazing. They certainly are not in a position right now to take on such an adventure though. Steve

Ford never made a Boss 427.
That engine was based on the Boss 429, but taken out to 10 litres.

Because it is the same FE block.
I saw one in a hot rod on display at the Bendigo swap meet years ago, from memory it was a yellow 32 Ford but not sure on that. Took a minute to work out what it was! |

Too right!
