Huge thanks to the guys at Bullet Race Engineering for giving me a peek at the already made full CNC machine billet Ford Barra engine blocks. They do look amazing and it has me thinking... Maybe
Anyway, comment below, how much power do you think they'll handle and how fast will people go with them?
To check out all of the Bullet gear, head to www.bulletraceengineering.com.au or find them on Facebook or Instagram under the same name.

Australia needs to start manufacturing cars again. Regardless of domestic price. For such a small population, you have had such a huge positive influence on the automotive industry world wide.

@AlienLivesMatter Год назад

our Westminster clowns traded manufacturing for quantitative population growth, creditbubbles & speculative mania.

@@AlienLivesMatter Try watching America's Shadow Government Series 2 Episode 1 - "The Game is Rigged." I think it's still up on SBS Catch Up. It explores the US car industry. It is very well researched. All our local car industry wanted was $19 government subsidy per car. Compare that to Germany's $200ish. Idiot Hockey said, "Poor people don't drive cars." What a dope! Gawd I hate Right Wing government almost more than I hate religious zealots. At least with religious zealots know you're a nobody heathen going to hell. Right Wing governments rip the guts out of education and workers rights then tell the workers if they still want jobs they had to do it because of the Left.

@theoracle6005 Год назад

Australia has many well engineered products like the Ford Barra engine which is only now being discovered by American Tuners. Australia has some great engineering and manufacturing capacity and has to restart its manufacturing operations. When push comes to shove, many international manufacturing close their manufacturing here because their governments give incentives to restart manufacturing back in their home country leaving many talented Australians out of work. Australia needs to be self sufficient and restart manufacturing / design on their own.

@highpointsights 2 года назад

Frankly this could be exciting. When I was in college about 45 years ago we built a stove-bolt chevy 6 that ran at the front of the "slow v8 pack in Colorado Springs. I mentioned CS because it was not Denver which would have been at another level but neither was it some little Podunk little burg in the middle of nowhere as long as it STAYED TOGETHER which wasn't allllllll that long!!! We ran a single barrel Rochester carb which most of you guys have probably never seen! It worked for us!!

@highpointsights 2 года назад

the Barra is a beast of a block. From my reading and listening it is a bigger 2J!!! The biggest problem is that it's so big that it takes up a lot of space and is then tough to find a space it's fit into!!

Im an straight 6 nut, always have been and love my Ford inlines. However i also love 2JZs and RBs so there is no real comparison in my eyes. Barra is still affordable to source though, so easy cheap street power. Anyway for people to get all salty and debate about the Barra as an competitor i think is high praise for our what were local built engines. Anyone knocking on Japans automotive doorstep earns instant respect in my eyes
