I believe the way forward is to buy an entry level FG ute and install your own aftermarket engine.
You will save so much $$$ and have a car that is truely your own.
I own a Ford Ute with an aftermarket engine and I absolutely love it.

The V8 ute is an Aussie icon. To not understand how someone would not want a high performance variation is beyond me.
The upshot is ... In 2016 we will be getting right hand drive mustangs. I will be saving my coin for that  |

| Oh yes - just to reconfirm... Whilst I too, though the AU pulley system was under driven it turns out whilst the HB is smaller than the e series its still not and under driven set up. AU ford HB is 145mm and the WP pulley is 114 mm ... Consider that with the e series aftermarket ASP - where the HB i... |

| Hi and thanks for the excel pulley sheet. It was interesting to read though I'm not 100 % I understood it all:-)) Regardless - I replaced your factory AU WP measurement of 114 mm with my aftermarket measurement of 144 mm which dropped the ratio down from 71% to 65 % ... Which is still no where near ... |
