🎫Ford's Barra Turbo and the BA Falcon - The Birth of Australia's Best Performance Engine 4.0L 6-cyl

Today we're looking at a car which I consider to be one of the most important vehicles we ever built here in Australia. A car which gave us the mighty Barra straight-six engine. The Ford BA Falcon. #MOTORINGBOX #BARRA #BAFALCON

It's still unbelievable that you can produce content on this scale of quality with the budget you have and doing it on a one man team. Seriously underrated man. Love your work.

This is the greatest BA Falcon video I've ever seen on YouTube.

My F6 Tornado was a pre release prototype that had 14, 500 kms on the clock when I bought it this years she’s just clocked 477, 000 kms and she’s still the ever reliable workhorse!! Love this ole girl!!

We the Australian people should own the blueprints to the Barra

I like and own ecotec V6 Commodores and I love this! Great stuff! One of my workmates who has a manual BA 6 cylinder Ford Falcon (I swing spanners at a car dealership for a living) asked me this: “What does a Holden V6 driver and a bad fisherman have in common?” Then he said “They’ll never catch a Barra!” 😂

the quality of this video was so i good that it felt like a mini movie

My old man was one of the engineers that designed and built the production line for that engine. He spent many late nights working on it. They kept that engine a massive secret.

I actually met the programmer and software engineer, while I was working. He had so much time to talk about it, However where I was working, they hated people just talking and no work being done. Geelongs old factory is now sold, the back area and some of the factory is still building and modifying cars that they test, either at the Lara track, or they’re driving around the refinery area.

*wipes tear away*

As a proud 11 year owner of an XT 2003 Model, they are without doubt the best car to see the country in.

Side note, I wish I had sent in my video but thought it wouldn't make the cut 😭

Amazing video as always.

You are spot on
I worked in a Ford dealership from 2003 - 2011
In both parts department and workshop mechanic
People loved these cars and I still remember the smiles on so many faces when they would come in even with the issues they did have they would still say I love the car and then they would want to talk about racing because we were finally smashing them
The proud Ford owner was re awoken from the 70s
I also got to meet the man Geoff polities what a true legend r.i.p and many of the great staff from Ford Australia who were really passionate about both falcon and territory programs
It was a magical time for a true Ford fan

Bro the production quality of your videos just keeps getting better and better! Keep it up man, love your videos - that trailer for this one was nuts! Can't wait to see the real thing!

[clikz]

I'm smiling... I can't stop smiling!
That ending was incredible mate!

[jrburger]

Loved it dude, honestly you are un-matched in production quality, no body on Youtube makes car related videos at the same level as you, I hope to see your channel skyrocket some day, you are awesome.

[bradmurray]

Has to be one of the slickest 'backyard' productions on YouTube. Great work as usual 👍

[Cyclingchoice]

Never owned a Ford, never driven one, not into Aussie cars ... but watched the whole episode with interest, this channel is not about cars, its about telling beautifully crafted stories! Awesome!

[appletechlikes]
