From my experience putting a 4 litre in an x series, id say anything from EF onwards. A lot of others will say "use the EL 4 litre" as it has a dizzy over a coil pack and is easier to set up?
Tho I do like what Ants has said "Go an AU donk" A friend of mine has an AU falcon, nothing special, never looks after it, just drives it and that's it. It has just over 200K on the engine and the bloody thing is a rocket! I drove it to Sydney recently and I was shocked at how hard this thing went. I didn't cane it or go stupid but popped it back to 3rd to over take a couple of cars on the freeway and then back to drive again and the power it had was impressive.
Moral:  AU falcon 4 litre. Oh and just buy a complete car for the conversion, cheap as chips!

Mossy's Corty...check out the race face on the man.
 

Just watched a heap of 500hp plus powered C4's run 120 plus MPH down Heathcoat on the weekend.Just because they can't build em doesn't mean they can't be built to handle the power.
 
I would consider Gregaust as a point of PM first and do as he suggests.

Congratulations goes out to Ken for posting a 11.323 @ 116MPH at the winternationals at willowbank over the weekend. I believe this is the quickest pass for the car so far. Ken also went some rounds in eliminations but was eliminated in round three. 
 
Cheers Wazzy  

Thats a shame bud...just goe's to show trust no one but yourself.

notice how the car tracked straighter with the ET streets as well.  less sidewall deflection??/ 

That part number I supplied is for 5/16 bolt on 1.73 ratio
Edit: see page 7 of the scorpion catalog bottom left hand corner last part listed on the page. You can down load the catalog of the scorpion website, is about 8MB in size.

In regards to price because its made for an american v6 you can probably only get it from the states. I have seen prices from $170 to $200 plus postage depending on the seller.

i like drifting,lol

So, when you drift, your boat is out of petrol. ???

Rob you forgot - skid marks in pants of any passengers after all said skids are peformed

8k in parts... Yeah i think you could definately build an engine like that albeit maybe with some cheaper second handys these day and i think all parts could come from aus. If you and your dad think you can do it and you do alot of shopping around then go for it mate. Haters are gonna hate and in all honesty the only one putting a damper on your idea is someone that obviously doesnt have the time to read up before he states facts. Machining and such will cost you but if you set a realistic budget and then add another 25% on top minimum then your on the right track. Anyone that has built a Higher than normal HP engine or car knows that. I say good luck and go for it mate. P.S that XR is sick haha.

Woodsys Falcon engine cost ALOT less than the figures posted here is a TRUE street driven and cruised deal and will run super low 11.0's or high 10's with it's 565hp.It's only hard if you want it to be.if you can't make a big cube V8 go for acceptable money you should give it away.It's so easy to do I wonder why 500hp is acceptable.
 
My x-flows rev to a limited 7200rpm so any motor can be made to rev and do it easily,just don't expect anything to last when you use shit Holley billit fuel pumps that lean out and kill a set of cast pistons then it floods and hydraulic's the engine to brake a piston in the new set.So my warning DON'T use Holley 150gph Billit pumps,they are shit and the best replacement for the same $$$ is a Aeromotive unit.No fuel issues since...but expensive lesson to find out.
 
Aeromotive for the win...

Better tell Branco his his 451small block can't rev than?

Hey Matty I rate the idea bro...come see us at the Ford Nationals and I'll introduce you to Jarrod Woods.He has a 408 in a Silver Fox XR sedan that made 565 hp at a low 6250 RPM and with Pro Comp cast heads.I shit you not Pro Comp castings.It was built by VIntage Racing services in town here and his car WILL run a very low 11 or 10sec pass as it's prepped with Cal Tracs,3500 convertor,3.9's and a 275 drag radial.His engine really needs more camshaft to use the cubes but it proves for the money your talking it can be done easy enough.
 
You will even love the car cos his work is TOP NOTCH and coming from a insurance assessor you can understand why I guess...
 

 

 
 
At Narandera Rod Run Easter time before we left for GM's place.

Thats one sexy xr right there!  I agree could be done on that coin. As you said engine. Not whole driveline unless you got alot of it kicking round already.

Hey bro thats no good.How do you know it's not working? Is it set on the correct cyl setting is the limiter set at a sensible setting and tested under load?

Yes forgot to mention that...good pick up.

Umm your the only one slinging on people and as no one shit on your view till you laid a well practiced strip that no one took your devod.
 
Only need positive or constructive comments not shit on peoples builds or ideas like you did baiting people.This isnt xfalcon in case you didnt notice.
