Standing out from a crowd of Japanese rides at a recent VicDrift practice day was Pat’s Ford Falcon. The car is powered by the last of the single cam Ford 4L’s complete will forged internals. Boost comes from a moderately sized Garrett GT3582 turbo running Haltech EFI making around 500hp to the wheels on pump unleaded fuel. Pat has also adapted a Nissan V6 6spd manual gearbox, Tilton clutch and Shockworks suspension.
