A mate and I have been building this XP Falcon for 9 years so far. Plans are to slam it on 18inch billets ( 12" wide at the rear but can go up to 14inch wide rims if needed as ful tubs allow us to run 385 tires) with 4 link airbag suspension. power will be from a tough 347 windsor stroker.

Great project and a sweet choice of motor, I went for a spin in a 347ci Stroker powered hot rod the other week and they have a beautiful note!! and go like a shit off a shovel too!!!.

Another mates 289ci XK sedan is a kool bit of gear too, those windsor motors sure look great in there! I've always had a soft spot for a windsor powered XM or XP!

still unsure about interior but its looking like tan leather with body colour tubs and trim here and there. also front bench seat :)

an intercooler dosent stand a chance against an industrial water meter
