New Here

G Day,
first post, i'm in Australia, went lookin' for info on Ford Modular V8 as just ordered a new Falcon SUV. i know Falcon's have not been built in USA since the 60's. but we still have them here , guess it's just a name we got used too.
Anyway the new Truck ( we call them Ute's here in Australia ) is a little 1 ton, has the plug spittin' 5.4 ( 330 ) 24 valve with variable valve timming and electric throtle. locker Danna Diff.
Good to meet you all,
Lakes

G'Day Mate!
Welcome to FTE!

I moved your thread to the introduction forum so more people will stop by and say hi!

You may find the info you need in the TECH forums.

Gotta go throw another rib on the Bar-B.

thank's everyone

And thank's Mil1ion for getting me in the right room.
i'm not that good on a pc, but i get by.
If you would like to see what a Falcon Ute look's like go here. but first need to tell you how to find it on this page, as i know we call a few things different names than you are used too. first click to go to virtual showroom, then click commercials,then click Falcon Ute, once you get in there you can see the different models. there is one thats good in the outback, one thats like a sports car with a pick up back, one thats got a hot straight 6 motor with garret turbo ( low boost ) go here. www.ford.com.au
cheers lakes

Welcome to FTE! Like the others have said... search the different forums and you'll probably find what you need for information. Also... I'd also like to see a picture of it when you can post one in the gallery.

That Ute is one NICE looking vehicle!! I loved the "Pursuit" model with the Boss 290. It looks like a combination of a Mustang and an old Ranchero.
