Doesn't it seem like a Taurus, a bit?

Looks like the falcon. It's a real car. The taurus is a piece of shit
compared to the falcon. The falcon is RWD and comes with one of a number
of inline 6 and V8 options with automatic or manual transmissions.

The pictured engine is the one I would like, a turbo inline 6. This DOHC
inline 6 is decended from the old US 'falcon' 6 of the 6s. More exactly,
ford of austraila started to develop the 250 in the 1970s eventually the
result after many years of divergence was an engine that doesn't share
much of anything except maybe a bolt with the US verison. While ford in
the USA didn't do a damn thing with the wonderful base engine that their
inline 6 was, they did down under.

How cool would that be.. to replace the Mustang 200 Sprint engine with
that one!

Just as bland as the monaro. That one is not selling here either (GTO)

I would love to put one in my maverick in place of the 250... but a
easier solution is supposedly on the way. A company is going to make a
proper high performance cylinder head for the 200/250.

But how long have we heard that?

The 7 main block is a great engine, but languished way too long due to
the silly head/manifold design

Looks like a cross between a Taurus and a Contour.

I actually prefer the Monaro to the GTO.

Sure they did! Ford lopped 2 cylinders off and put it into the Tempo,
Topaz, & Taurus!
