the block that the fords use is a SVO sportsman R block, based on the windsor design but alot stronger.
The standard 5.0 litre block wouldn't last 2 mins in a race car.
SVO also make a Sportsman block which is slightly below the R block in strength, this is what many engine builders use when building high horsepower(over 500) 5.0L engines.

There's an easy way to win.

Go to the next local round of the V8 Supercars. Tell this guy you'll give him $200 if you loose, but if you win, he has to pay for the whole day, food, fuel and a jacket from your favorite team.

Then get pitt passes and just ask all the Holden teams what block the Ford teams run. They'll all say "uh.. 5 litre Ford SVO block.. why?"

A bit off topic but if you want proof that your average holden fan is an A grade self entertainer check out forums.justcommodores.com.au/. Go to their motorsport section and read the winging about Jason Bright switching back to Ford. They then bag the s**t out off Amrose for being an arrogant f**k. All this from the same people who worship Skaife for gods sake. Any way this site is a cheap ripoff of our much loved ford mods site and proves one thing.
God invented holdens to keep d***head out of Fords.
God invented s**t. Holden put wheels on it. ha ha ha

It's an SVO motorsport block, cast in limited numbers by Ford Motorsport.

Just like for Nascar, they still cast a specialist block for that too.

What s**t is this guy spinning?

Sit and spin I say.

Also the front suspension on the Falcon is not the SLALS design on the Falcon, but closer in concept to that on the Kingswood. Both Ford and Holden aere required to have the same overall design as per the project blueprint specs.

Cheers,

David M
