I found this video to be very interesting, mostly because I own a 1978 Ford Fairmont – an Australian Fairmont, which is a completely different car. Some parts are very similar to what my car has though, some are what I would expect to see on a much earlier model. It was really interesting to see the difference.
I am a bit curious as to why Ford hadn’t switched over to a crossflow head for the American sixes. Australia switched over from the log to the crossflow in ’76 (I’m assuming they’re using the same block for the 3.3/4.1), as a bit of a guess I’d assume it was emissions related – Australia definitely was a lot slower on emissions laws.
