Based in Malaga, Western Australia, Monsta Torque are Ford specialists and experts in building fast Barras. In this video we chat with Rob and try to extract some secret source info about the venerable Ford straight six as well as its equally famous partner - the ZF automatic transmission. Monsta Torque website: www.monstatorque.com.au/ Monsta Torque facebook: facebook.com/MonstaTorque/ Do you have a workshop with some cool or unusual Haltech builds? Let us know in the comments below:)
There are a lot of Green LPG taxi engines out there. Lot's of under-stressed, varnished miles on them. Freshen them up, big turbo, Haltech ECU and blow the damn thing up if you can. You can buy the whole damn taxi for 500 bucks!
1150HP on a stock crank... and they took the engine out of production. I've got a feeling that someone with spare cash could make a decent profit out of sucking up all the Barras the wreckers and holding on to them for a few years.
@@tyimudiartha5399 It was "me bad", I'd forgotten many manufactures would pass the oil through part of the radiator to cool the transmission fluid, rather than use a dedicated external oil cooler.

Wow, Something to be proud of for the former ford aust co, and the company pumping them up.
"no mechanical sympathy" classic. haven't heard that one for a while.
It's a great term, we are seriously thinking about using it in our instruction manual!
My dad & I use something CLOSE to that saying: Only we use "empathy" instead of "sympathy".
Bottom line is, it's a very apt term.
Cars got great power but if u overtake it will go bang... so in other words it's a pile of shite??
Great video Guys, Great Workshop and seems like a nice Bloke as well. Cheers 👍.
nice bloke. knows his stuff.
How is it that the Oz-designed and built Barra got past us. I remember the days when guys were bragging about their 192 Holden's making 150BHP!
Sadly the Barra is no longer in production, a classic case of "you don't know what you've got till it's gone..."
@@haltech The thing is people loved it when it was in production also, but not enough for the ones doing the numbers.

That's real different having the missus telling you to spend money/time building a car. Keep her.
194 Mph for our American friends.

People are already starting to. Ive bought 5 gas motors and 2 normals for the future when they all dry up.
Definitely already a thing
If there's sufficient demand, hopefully someone in the aftermarket will start making a "clone" version of them the way they do with the LS.
Should have told me you were 5mins from my house. We could have caught up for some lemon squashes
It was a good trip. WA rocks:)

I'm not hatin' but why do dudes tuck their ears in their hats??
Cause my ears poke out sideways if I don't tuck them in.
He's right, they do! Have pix to prove it.
