QUOTE (Nikked @ Mar 21 2012, 04:02 PM)  Funny Thing is... Both engines are still made at Fords engine plant, on the same production line, using the same parts. So, towards the end of the production line... -One goes and has the Blue tappet cover installed, and is coupled with a FPV tune, then installed in a FPV -The other has the red cover, and a XR6 tune, then is installed in a XR6 Hence, Typhoons having a FPV tuned variant of a Ford engine (as ford simplified things by having the one set of rotating assembly)... Therefore, saying your XR6 is sack riding....unless you own a BA-BF Mk1 and have installed a FPV spec engine... If this statement about where they come from is true, its as much the same as people that claim an LS Engine is a Chevrolet motor when in fact its roots are neither Holden Nor Chevrolet as they are GM motors. The only thing making them a such-n-such engine pertains to the Chassis they were installed in. So in closing, Henz can just get on it and give up.

The difference here being that in its roots, Ford make Ford engines, Holden don't make Holden engines. And the chassis they come in does not define the engine. The tune the engine gets before being installed as the Ford stock tuned engine, or the FPV tuned engine defines what engine it is. |

Companies/Models Potato/Potahto. Your statement is quite silly. The only reason the FPV engine gets an FPV tune is because its in an FPV. Tune/Covers disregarded, one of these motors installed into an XR6T from Factory is an XR6T motor and the same with FPV #Circles. |

And you have just said exactly what I've been saying in your second comment.... I haven't argued the reason why it gets an FPV tune so not sure why you're bringing it up As said a few posts ago again... As said 2 posts ago: "The summary is, yes the 2 engines are built the same before dropped into any car. The XR6T's come with an XR6T configured/tuned engine. The FPV's come with an FPV configured/tuned engine." The engines are the same in terms of build parts, one being tuned by FPV for an FPV F6, the other tuned by Ford the way it is for the XR6T. Therefore, final product - one is an F6 engine, one is an XR6T engine. I have never contested this. Circles indeed... |

QUOTE (Nikked @ Mar 21 2012, 06:01 PM)  oh dear... Just FYI, holden make Alloytecs Offtopic...Alloytec was a joint venture by Cadillac and Holden. Ford 4.0 I6 is pretty much now the only Australian engineered motor (as in not just assembeled in Aus like the Holden Cruze) left but started out as an American motor although only as a 144ci, 170ci and 200ci, Ford Aus pretty much changed all the internals, etc in 1968 and again in 1970 with the good old 250ci. |

Well you just found the answer yourself with the Atomic internals.....I'd call it a built Ford I6 Turbo motor
