    Okay the first use of the word "Barra" in Australia is for a shortened slag word used for a northern Australia sport fish a Burramundi, I'm fairly sure that would be an aboriginal name for the fish.

    So when Ford Australia were developing the motor it was called the "Barramundi Project" or Barra for short!

    I turned on closed captioning. When the engine revs it says [Music].

    I think the aftermarket engine management systems are bringing these motors we thought were not anything special a giving them a new life.
    The castings of those heads on these late v6's were very good and still tough as they are iron on an iron block. Both these guys and StreetmachineTV are playing with that era V6 at the moment.

    When my ship comes in I wouldn't mind having a hub dyno setup. Good system. And the V6 seems reasonably healthy. I do, however, need an Aussie-to-American translator (I caught some of the words but.......).
