If you google the last of the Argentine Falcons, they have XK body with rectangular headlights.....no wonder Americans thought our Falcon was based on the same mechanicals and body work

You should see the work on the TC sixes; windowed blocks to fit the roller lifter retainers and tricks like that. Different bellhousing bolt pattern to the Oz sixes.
