Don't know about you, but Old mates workshop looks clinically clean, a good indication or organisation and professionalism. awesome stuff

An engine builder's shop better be heaps cleaner than a grimy mechanic shop... Notice how things are covered in cloth *despite* the shop being clean. At the really high end shops they have a separate engine assembly room where parts are moved to after machining, cleaning and inspection. Just to make that last bit of extra mega monster sure that a pesky little metal shard from the machining area doesn't find it's way in to the client's high-dollar build and ruin a bearing surface before the fun has even started.

I remember me and the lads buying a $250 XE Wagon Bush Basher mid 2000s. Absolutely flogged it into disrepair, It would not slow down. Now I'm doing a XF Turbo Barra build, and it's costing a lot more that $250... All for good times!!...

My best friends old man had one of these Falcons when I was a kid, thought it looked a bit weird at the time. Fast forward a looooong time and it’s a very cool retro beast!.

It would be quite the treat to see you guys go to a junkyard to hunt and pull an engine!

Man those falcons are getting hard to find now days. That car looks mint. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Fellas, this is exactly what I needed! Currently doing a similar build (not chasing quite as much power though) for my soon to be barra swapped 89 Ford Maverick with an RE4. Been a long time supporter of the channel and looking forward to following the rest of this build and whatever builds you have in store next!

Johns shop is nice and clean. You´ll see that and have assurance his engines are well put together!

From the states, I got to say that is a good looking wagon.

15:30 Oh black magic cam spec's, love it!

You got some great shots of the assembly Woody, nice work!

Been telling people for a while now that turbo motors aren’t worth it and while green tops make good power they’re not reliable. Built junkyard barra is the way to go! Awesome work as always guys.

When yer mate is oiling the cylinders, it reminded me of some other *ahem* internet documentaries I've seen before. Phwoar.

Really nice editing boys. Pleasure to watch aye...

The video we have all been waiting for

Very therapeutic gents! Merry Christmas 👍

That thing is sick 😍

John knows what hes talking about, sticking with the clevo 😎

Hey guys . Sh1t hot video . Als descriptions were spot on as far as technical detail vs length . Woddys commentary was equally spot on . Johns 3 words were a little better . A lot of us would love to do a basic build on these and a few other popular engines but its probably never going to happen so its awesome to be able to watch it and see the results .keep it up

Love the XE front.

Cool build!

“ put an RB30 in it” 😂 old mate knows his stuff

This weekend I'll be building my $150 barra with all its goodies

Yeahhh boi! You got me back on this one… last build was awesome but almost no one else is going to do that…. I’m more of a Nissan/holden fan but damn the barra is some good Aussie engineering and I’m weird but I really like the xd/xe shape for some unknown reason…

Slap it together & stick it in there! Straight & to the point 🤣👍🏿

this makes me happy

*chef's kiss*

Great video legends!

Thanks al EDIT: and woody. Ur a real hero

Those falcons look so good

John turned me into a sprinkler as I just taken a mouth full of lemon squash before the end bit. Was running around madly looking for something to dry off my monitor. Cheers John no just joking it was so funny.

The ending makes me belly giggle😂😂😂

Congrats, nice find. Saw it and u on the live test

11 .8 - 11 = .8 ( point eight mm over ) So true 3 times the parts . Hope it went well . The BA is the hardest to remove the OCV s . Ford are very clever with Finance , in my experience says Ford pistons are budget pistons because that's the market they are sold to in the Falcon which is too short for the Barra motor . Germany must love Barra rebuilders ( pistons , rods chains , bolts , all after market) Good luck with that cautious rebuild and the good video.

Perfect engine for that long roof 👍🏻🚀

Yesssss, this is exactly my plan engine wise, this and project no mangs new engine are relevant to my interests. I only want 500 killer wasps to the wheels, but with the option to wind her up.
