- G'day guys, In this video we take the XY GT Replica out for a road test.
This Tuff 1971 Ford XY GT replica is running a 3V CHI headed 408 Clevo with a solid roller cam with a toploader 4 speed and true track 9 inch.
We just took it for a little spin to test the new rear brakes but I was in for a bit of a shock, this is an absolute beast of a car!
It is both quick, good looking and she sounds incredible!
Please Enjoy, and Thanks for watching!

Not biased, but Clevos have to be best sounding old school V8s ever, ,👍
Also the 350 chev in the HQ MONARO GTS coupes sounds awesome aswell. 👍
I love holdens too but nothing on earth sounds like clevelands
That car sounds awesome.
You guys do great work and are very helpful with your followers.
Keep it up
Much appreciated.
You gotta love the sound of solid lifters.
That's one sweet sounding machine
On the street, enough power that you never run out.
Love these videos! I just discovered these fellas a week ago. Im building a 1967 Ford fairlane and dropping in a 351 Cleveland with 4 speed toploader. Im getting lots of tips from the Clevo King! Awesome!!
Love that song that's playing out of the exhaust on that bird!!🚘👍
That's a beast👍🏻
love that noise. What a beautiful song she sings.
This is an awesome video bro 👌👊
This XY Falcon is an absolute screamer, sounds amazing!.
Thanks for the video that’s a sweet
Noise ya got there
That is one TUFF sounding XY Falcon.
Nice 👌
OMG. That BEAUTY is a BEAST. Watching test drive kind of made me nervous. I was waiting for it make the rear tires beg for mercy at the top of each gear.
I bet you will all watch it twice!
Hell yeah! 💪
Yep sure did
Yep you're not wrong there 👍🏻
Three times actually.
@@peterirwin8064 that’s the way mate!
Nice car. sounds real good!
That sounds tuff good video boy's 👌
Thanks mate 👍
Takeoff at the end reminded me of Running On Empty 👍 Good vid
Thanks mate!
Also love your videos and work boy's
Cheers mate appreciate the support!
Love it guys yewwww
Mmmmm Cleveland goodness❤
Beast
Wow 🥰
Oh my god!
Tasty .
Perhaps you could give some info on the stroker kits for the Cleveland and the costs, which kits are the best and pitfalls to look out for. Which head combo from CHI you would recommend for a street driver that behaves well in town and not to much of a bitch to drive. As in drivability and still ok vacuum for the breaks. Cam I'm running has 12 inches vacuum and brakes still good. Crower hot street beast. Cheers
Tip put a bolt through the left engine mount to stop them breaking.
Great tip mate
Learnt the hard way,Greatest days of my life,,drove Brisbane to TVL 13 hrs..36 gal Tank, Got a divorce ex got the GT sold it for 17k..Now worth?? Remember life will get worse every day so enjoy..My days of driving are over.@@thebrisbanebrothers8332
I hope my 393 Cleveland XY Ute sounds nearly as good when I get it on the road after coming back from the painter in a couple of weeks.
This video was a convenient way for you to boast about your ute hahaha
street guru yeah pretty much. 😂
street guru lime glaze with an orange stripe.
@@rustynutzz3504 Sounds like an odd colour combo but sure it will look hot when its done. Im a Holden guy but love the XY utes and should bloody move with that displacement
Really nice man may you pleade share what cooling fans you are using
I’ll have to ask the customer next time we catch up
Just wondering have u ever done a video on how to do front springs in a xd / xe
Not yet mate, it’s the next thing to cover on our red Xd build the front end Reco!
Have a Question for ya, should there be an O-ring between the master cylinder and brake booster on a pbr setup as there looks like there is a groove on the main shaft that goes into the front of the booster on an ford XW/XY. cheers boys, sounds killer that XY.
It’s not an o ring it’s like a small rubber washer
@@thebrisbanebrothers8332 Cheers thanks for that, thought there had to be something there.
No skid, this is australia!?
What is the brake setup on this? I am thinking of upgrading my XB ute with Wilwood on the back but I guess if you do the back you gotta do the front? Any changes needed to brake master cylinder when going from drum to disc?
The drum brakes need a lot more line pressure then a disc that’s why they make the proportional or adjuster valve to help get the rear bias right. Wilwood also make a little piece that can keep the pressure in the line too if needed. You should be fine going to disc if it’s now drum on the rear as the disc needs less pressure anyway.
Would you recommend a stroker over a 351 for a street engine? Seems everyone is going 408 but is it good for longevity? Also solid roller on the street how long would the lifters last for street duties?
Check out Zoran from Competition Engines in melbourne talking about the 0.937 lifter bore conversion for roller cam durability on the street, and also the issues with 408 pistons vs the new one they have designed. Very cluey dude 👍
3v?? It's not 3 valve per cylinder is it? If it is,,is it 2 exhaust or 2 intake?
3v has been around for a while it’s like a tongued 4v head. They are the go to for Drag racing these days.
How did yall do that shaker?! I like it doesnt have the lower blue part from the factory.
It’s a hi rise shaker kit I think competition engines sell them from memory mate, we have one but we made it ourselves.
Cool thanks for reply! Keep the cleveland vids coming! Be posting some of mine once I figure out this CZcams thing!
Cant seem to find it. Seems pretty simple to make.
Have a more detailed picture how y'all made it?
???
I really want an electric car ...... hahhahah bullshit ...... only joking chaps , that sounds awesome , lovely old Henry .
What compression ratio is that motor?
Not sure I’ll have to ask next time I see the owner
Well f $#@ me if thats not the sweetest sounding ford iv heard in a long time !!!!
A high rise manifold is the wrong choice with 3v heads
Beautiful Build...but you could use a few lessons from a Real 4 speed driver...Its a Roller Cam 3V Stroker Cleveland...the second the motor starts to get happy you up shift...
Let that thing eat...Brother..👍😎
Agreed 👍
Sounds like it's a bit over 500 HP LOL 😂🤣😂
She got long legs lol imagine low gears lol beast LOL 😂😂
Meh, not as good as my mates XY GT here in Perth.
Hahahaha you claim to build engines and you cant even pronounce the correct way of the heads. CHAI!! Hahaha what do you think it’s a tea?? It’s C.H.I 😂😂😂😂
You obviously are not in the speed scene mate
@@thebrisbanebrothers8332what's a Clevo ? Don't you know it's actually a Cleveland not Clevo 😂
@@thebrisbanebrothers8332 Thanks for the video,s and replying to some questions with great answers...Appreciate your time and effort
