Re: Aussie Factory Built Big Block

There were two XB Coupes that were fitted with big Blocks by workers at Ford, back in the day. It was a little side project they did in their spare time, and they were Ford Exec/managers cars.
There was a write up in a car mag about it years ago.
I seem to remember one was yellow and one was blue (might be wrong on this colour thing though)
I believe they were returned to factory spec before being sold off.
There was also a lot of Big Block conversions done back in the 80's by farmers towing horse floats and the like, many were done at places like Ford Muscle Parts as part of a drive in drive out rebuild.
