Ford XY drifter ~
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 бер 2016
- Built over a 12 month period, James Mackie’s Ford XY has certainly attracted a lot of interest at Aussie drift events. The unconventional drifter was originally intended to be powered by a Ford turbo six, however a GM LS1 engine and gearbox ended up being a cheaper option to get the car up and running.
The engine itself is still a 5.7L displacement with the main modifications being a baffled sump and VCM3 camshaft package that makes around 360hp to the tyres. A T56 gearbox is also fitted along with a Rip Shifter.

Comments are hilarious . It's not a GT or GT -HO . It's a tired Falcon 500 , 6 cylinder with column shift auto . Look at the interior . Column shift is still there . Warning lights where GT gauges go . He probably saved it from the wrecker . As far as the LS1 engine is concerned . 351c have been out of production in Australia for more than 30 years , good luck finding a useable engine . LS1 s are plentiful , cheap and lightweight . Clevelands are rare , expensive and heavy , cast iron block and heads , you can buy a complete LS1 for less than a set of aftermarket alloy heads for a Cleveland .
Chris M I agree. I'm a one eyed Ford man. But also am a car man, and appreciate all cars.
You nailed it with everything you said. And this thing is awesome 👍
well said mate
I agree awesome car, I've fitted a Nissan VH41DE in my VN Calais. So I'm no better lol. I love all cars
sure beats seeing another silvia. That is awesome
love it!
car you would never expect to see out there, with a motor you would never expect to be in it.
maximum respect to this guy
4l Barra turbo would've been impressive!
Much more impressive
@@henrykahukura2976 Doubt it
@@11henger you've clearly never seen or been in anything over 375kw
Great to see an old ford driving and sliding. Well done. :)
I'm a Ford man but this is awesome 👍
Awesome build and owner! Even with two hits he doesn't go into a rage like the commenters of this video who say 'why you put an ls engine in it' and 'you're a disgrace.'
What a sick ride!!! Legend. Wish we'd see more stuff like this at drift comps. Damn good driver too :)
The Ford xy is death proof and I bloody love it
2:32 if only accidents on public roads were handled like this hahahaha...
would have been awesome if it was powered by Ford
this is my dream car well done m8 some one had to do it!
that thing is mad!! love it
That may be the best sounding LS1 I've heard.
Great footage with the gopro... the sound too... nice effort all around!
He can drift that beast good as
Should have put a rotary in it just to really piss the Ford nuts off.
I'd much rather a rotary be in there instead of a wet fart limiter bashing LS shitter hey
I love this car, it's setup & the sound. have watched this many times now. So many people fail to realise it's about getting the car going hard, not about who made the engine. Ford use Volvo motors in some of their recent line ups, who really cares... Enjoy the car
That is freaking awesome
That's pretty cool!
Lol I'm a bit of a purist for originality,...normally, but this is awesome, made me laugh heartily & was great to see an old XY drifting so well, & has a lot of cool too, cheers for showing it!!
yeee boi #LStheUNIVERSE
Amazing how good a stock engine sounds
+PilgrimTitan it's got a cam
Purists must hate you xD if only the Godzilla and mods for it where widely available when this build was made!
That's awesome. The problem with drifting a car like this is, when you hit something the repair cost is astronomical.
More like trying to find the damn parts!
Hit a ricer with it though and the ricer will lose!
Imagine a GT back in the day getting around Bathurst with a 6spd and those crappy drum brakes 😂🤣 They would’ve been an unstoppable weapon.....literally.
Dayum that Silvia ht hard at 3:57
Had the pleasure of knowing a guy that was driving xy and xa gt falcons sideways like this around Auckland in the late 80,s could get away with it those days when I saw him last he owned 12 gt falcons some genuine the rest replicas
fuggin straight outta the 70's brah... love it and who cares about mish mash engines and whatever in drifting = no kahnt
Nice
2:41 bring a tear too a glass eye
Shout out to those whom respect other peoples builds, and are open minded to other peoples personal tastes, the real car guys: you are not alone in this comments section.
Did it get hit a second time right at the end?
+Cr125stin Yeah, the opposite rear door looked damaged. Unlucky day.
Good work. If ya didn't tell anyone it was an LS know one would be complained. Don't worry about the amount of Ford 9 inches in Holdens now will we.
would like to see MCM make something this bad ass
I'd like to know what wheels they are on the front!
What a waste of an XY.
Yeah, what a waste! It should be sitting, rotting on a farm yard.
James Donovan No. it *should* be a sunday driver.. Driven not hidden.
I think it's safe to say there's enough of these that are going to be preserved. At least this guy is using it, and it's not like this is some concourse example either.
Very true, this should have been a family care for sunny Sunday’s :)
Why
Must have been a 260 six powered Falcon 500 originally ,looking at that shifter on the column .. :-)
That bigkleib intro though
hey bud. what rims are they on the front?
Farken nice cuzy bro
what are those front rims he has?
Wrecked it with the ls.. should've spent the extra dollars and put a Barra in it..
TDJ Films he’s choice engine he puts in he’s own car 😂
What are the front rims?
Bloody Hell
Lol this left me a little discombobulated, a Ford XY running a Gm power plant and how RUFF is the car!! But the XY looks great in a drift & he drives it really well. It's cool!!
It's now orange and blown

Heya,its a moving...let it go!
Passed the old man)
Good he has a good head on his shoulders. Replaced a toaster ford motor with one that can actually produce power without a turbo haha. Ford fans getting mad but its just the facts
xD herp derp shulda put da barramundi 4 literrr in eet!!!
That's a good build, but the fanboys are cancer IMO.
people that say what a waste
spend the money buy your own and leave it in your shed for 40 years
and when you die im sure it was worth having it sit there like a scrap heap
Had no idea you could make an LS1 sound that good.
Got a full stainless twin system on a VYSS and it still sounds gay.
Out of all the cars why an XY waste of an good ford. but it's pretty beast
musclecars can drift too. wicked! need to an HT monaro in there as well. Let the purist crap themselves.
It's a shame to see a Holden motor in a classic ford. But at the same time it would seem to be the wisest disision, cheap power! What ford motor can could compete with the $$ ➡️ power?
A quad cam boss 290 lol.
Or a lazy 302.
Billy G Hate to be picky, but it is a Chevrolet motor, it is just used in a Holden.
lol both back doors got smashed
#LStheWORLD
she goes good for 360rwhp
Wish he had the coin to do a Miami swap
australian supercharged coyote
I doubt it would even fit in there. The LS is already a tight enough fit, no way you're gonna get a DOHC V8 in there.
Crime #1. putting a fucking LS engine in it, Crime #2. making it a bloody drift car.. it's disgusting.
The hit it took in this clip...;0
He should be put in prison for that
I do not care, you do not put an LS into an XY. Would have been better if it had a 427 Big Block.
Should of put in a 572
Good driving and good idea. who cares if its not original he did it to piss off all the dickheads that cant drive and spend all day polishing there car in the shed
Sean. D ... But those people take pride in their car's, that dosn't necessarily mean they could be lacking in certain driving skills.
Only way to slow a falcon down. Insert a LS😂
would have gone better with a 51 in it instead of chev shit
villiers man highly doubt it, lazy revving cast iron 351 to a light alloy rev happy ls....
hang on, was the 12.2 a running on empty joke... 12.2 ahhahaa
No better car sound than a roaring V8.
Stick your turbo backed 4cyl rice burners in the bin. Without that turbo they're just expensive boat anchors.
Definitely not a car that an ls should be in... in my opinion, so wrong
one person has to ask why some one would be so stupid to do that too an Xy put a Cleveland back in it then let's see if you can drive
Koro Patuwai wouldnt drift then...
would, itd sound better too ya gunt
LS chev?? Fucken sacrilege.
And.. Drifters were made by Chrysler.
Why are people defending this animal for putting a ls in a xy
The XY wants to eat that rice!
that's an expensive hit...
started watchn video....stopped when it wasn’t ford powered
ΚΑΙ ΟΠΟΙΟΣ ΑΝΤΕΞΕΙ
WTF is a proper car doing in a ricer sport? Commodores dont really count!
LDN Wholesale Exactly what I was thinking, what is an XY doing with sliding around with rice bombers and fartcans, and with an LS!
#LStheWORLD ughh worst # ever!!
What a piece of junk
the motor in it is a piece of shit. the car is a gem
LS1 in an XY..
blasphemy..
no respect for a Aussie classic ford....
