3V 5.4 Triton already being built in Australia!


Living in the United States my entire life...I never knew or heard of the "Ford Falcon" which is made in Australia and distributed to South Africa and several asian markets. News from the Ford Media website says production of the 3v 5.4L Triton engine began in August for the Ford Falcon. I found this very interesting and wanted to learn what the "Ford Falcon" was. For all of you out there also interested...here is a link---->

Thats a cool link dude.

Is that a re-skin of the Taurus????

It's no Taurus. RWD V8 and Turbo I6 models of the Falcon. From the side view, the hood/fender look like a US Mustang if anything.

I also heard the new police car's will be ditching the 4.6 for the new 5.4's

Here is an official Ford link for the production of the new 5.4s...

:bandito: :bandito:

It is slick looking! It looks like the SVT truck guys were set loose in a BMW factory. That would be a HUGE hit if it was released over here:drool:,,,,98:devil:

Definately some competition for the 2004 Chevrolet SSR

Same price range? no way I would take that over the SSR. For one thing, it looks really little...

Too cool! That Falcon looks kind of good, not at all like my 1st car. :D It was a 1964 Ford Falcon, 4-door, 170 ci straight 6, and my favorite part, a three in the tree, and for the younger croud :fyi: that would be a three speed manual using a column shifter.

It doesn't look like my Falcon either:devil: Here's mine, under construction for years. It was taken before I tore it down. Done up in early sixties custom, hehe.,,,,98
