Fordmods Technical Documents Welcome to the Fordmods Technical Library. Here you will find a large selection of technical documents, primarily based around the Ford Falcon. Fordmods was founded on technical documents submitted by Xyphoid (Matti Jones) and in more recent times we have seen our own users submitting their own documents, showing us how they've accomplished some fine Ford modifications - exactly what this site is all about. Please see here if you have a document you would like to submit.
