ok so in Australia they have a version of our 4.0 v6 but they have the good DOHC heads, good for 190kw and 383nm

thats 255hp and 283 ft-lbs

soooooo.... my question is this, do you think anyone will try a DOHC swap?

anyone know if its even possible?

4.0 liters of BIG v6 with DOHC high reving personality would sure be alot of fun.


my assingment for you all is to find someone with alot of money, and try this swap then let us know how it worked.
this would be alot more fun than the older slug 3.8 v6

I think their(Australia's) 4.0L is an inline 24V DOHC six not a V-6........

Yes their Ford cars have Inline-6 4.0s good for 258 hp, they don't have Mustangs there though.....

"In stock trim, the Typhoon F6 uses an Australian-designed inline-6 with twin-overhead cams, four valves per cylinder, variable-length intake manifold and cam timing, and a Garrett turbocharger with intercooler running an unstressed 9 psi. FPV claims 362 hp and 405 lb-ft of torque for the F6, but rumors from within Ford during initial testing suggested there was a lot more than just 360 hp hiding in the turbo six. With a mild boost increase, larger intercooler, ECU tuning, and mild intake and exhaust systems changes, the power and torque figures both jumped beyond 500.

Plus, the 4.0 liters endows the F6 with torquey drivability lacking in a Mitsubishi Evolution or Subaru STI. F6 power is delivered with a turbinelike rush, building with minimal lag from 2000 rpm, and with a meaty power band from 2500 to 6000 rpm. But it's the 500-plus lb-ft of torque that gives the F6's Dunlops nightmares. Strong engine: check."

Now wouldn't this be lovely to have as an option.

The coverted price for the 2005 model is about $45k, but there is no telling the nightmares meeting US saftey and emmission standards (anyone who served in Germany and thought they could get a great deal on a BMW knows how that can be) plus shipping from down under. But it looks to be a pretty sweet car. Here are some pics.
