It's gonna be so awesome to meet anyone capable of handling this power for even just drag racing. They'd have to be the batshit crazy ass adrenaline chaser that dies soon after! (And before anyone gets any ideas, I'm not against 3K or 10K nor do I care where or how it's used, internal combustion is the solution to everything incl speed & power)
As an American, I would like to thank Fullboost for opening my eyes to the Australian performance automotive scene 🇦🇺. Since I’ve been into Ford 351 Cleveland based engines for 40 years, the Fullboost video featuring a Dandy Engines built 461 Clevor with Higgins Race Heads and intake, really blew my mind ! This video featuring Frank and the crew at Dandy building the billet Barra is equally amazing. I even enjoyed reading the comments because I didn’t see any confused Chevy fanboys claiming the LS engine was far superior. That tired old LS bullshit is wearing pretty thin nowadays. Thanks for keeping it real guys 🏁.
@@gibbsey9579 Talent like Franks is definitely worthy of a full length interview. Tim is a longtime friend of mine and I’m proud of everything he does to preserve the early years of Pro Stock Drag Racing history and promote the legendary Cleveland engine and those individuals who are currently involved with keeping it in the winners circle around the world 🇺🇸🇦🇺🏁.
Impressive engine. We went 8.22 at 175mph (in a relatively light 2860lb car) running the most basic of Barra's. It was machined and the short block assembled by Dandy Engines (Stock block, crank, head, cams, etc). They really do know their stuff. Great video guys.
Gotta love that Barra valve cover beak. It’s just so ridiculous, yet iconic of a design. 3K HP should be a breeze as long as that aftermarket crank can hang.
Driving a 6s car to/from the track is usually not a thing. At that speed you are running tiny fuel cells. I have a friend who has driven a 6s car to the petrol station and back to the track and video'd it, worlds fastest R35.
Unfortunately I'm not sure it's possible, falcons are bloody heavy even a ba xr6 is 1700kgs. My fgs 1750kgs I'm at 480whp 775nms and barely cracking the 11 with an 11.94@114 through a tr6060, an auto might crack an 11.8 ,hell u need 700hp just to run 10.00s in them 😬🤣 You'd need approximately 3k hp atw just to crack a 6. Jun11 is around 3500hp to run 6.30s and it's lighter than a falcon.
I've said it before, but it's a great time to be a Ford guy building a car. These engines are amazing. And I was a Holden guy for years. I like em all now. Those billet blocks are very pretty. eta: outstanding viewing btw.
@bvward Yes, those valve seats are probably made of beryllium copper. They are for super tight tolerances. + or - .001 - .002. Also, they expand and contract at a similar rate as aluminum. I actually just found out about these a few weeks ago. I may have the head rebuilt for a vintage motorcycle I'm restoring. The machinist was going through different options. I'm pretty much going to have to have the valve seats replaced,they are pitted badly. In fact I may just buy a different head that doesn't need so much work.
i dont understand why a master like this needs to justify his ways of working..if were him i would never say ''some might not agree with this, but it works for us'' STUFF THE INTERNET TROLLS! TELL THEM TO MEET YOU AT THE TRACK IF THEY DISAGREE WITH YOUR WORK STYLE!!
So many blokes try to talk up their capabilities, so it's refreshing to see Frank (one of the top engine builders in the country) understating what he can do.
It looked like those pistons were in the hole a little bit. Have you guys played with the quench clearance? I'm not big in the 4 valve heads but on a 2 valve it makes a big difference in detonation and power having a tight quench area. Great looking product!
Barra Inline 6 engines are DOHC with VVT and 24 valves. Wiki: Barra I6 3.3L and 4.1L are push-rod w flat-tappets (however trustworth that is; I'd never heard of a Barra) ...
Forget the 2K Barra here comes the 3K 😊

@fullboost Excellent video lads as always 💪👌. How’s shop going? Was awesome meeting you guys at Epping, did 5/5 review video of your DIY shop

Please consider including Barra engine details..?
As an American I'd never heard of a Barra.
Thanks (and v cool video)
it doesn't matter, whether you love it or hate it, the barra is the best engine designed and built in Australia
Na was its older brother the mighty fucking INTECH
Best in-line 6 ever
No the Rb is the best motor built and designed in Australia
I have the first of the proformance Ford 6s in my cortina 1970 250 2V,factory 6 engine in xa coupes 😁🤘
@@deanstiles8080Nice, they're sweet engines.
Frank pulled up when I was broken down, went home got me a dizzy absolutely best car person ever met

Tim, at drag boss garage did an interview with Frank. Well worth a look if you haven't seen it.

@@danielwilson6665 You are very lucky to call Tim a friend... I'm a fan of his youtube channel, and of course the Cleveland engine.
@@gibbsey9579 I couldn’t agree more about Tim. The Cleveland and fans are totally hardcore. I appreciate your kind comments 🏁

I reckon I would watch Frank bake a cake! Thanks fellas
LOL ! I want to see Frank bake a cake too! That's Franks new challenge!
Dandy Engines is world class in my book and Frank is such a humble man. Well done team!
Such a talented, modest man always so quick to divert any direct pressure to his colleagues and friends. What a lefgend, great video!
Really glad I got a Torrington thrust bearing put in my Barra when I had it rebuilt!
Frank always been the man, please put one of these barras in a 1400kg car like a cortina or capri want to see sixes.
Gotta love that Barra valve cover beak. It’s just so ridiculous, yet iconic of a design.
3K HP should be a breeze as long as that aftermarket crank can hang.
That crank is basically a top fuel crank.
Crazy to see how much that alloy rod bent without shattering.
Alloy has come a long way!
i watch Steve Morris d this most days, did not know we had anyone here showing us this.
Thanks for sharing Dandy.
Cheers Fullboost for great Upload
Now I will go back to your history and I allways thump up.
God bless guys)
Can’t wait to one day see a 6 second xr6 turbo driven to and from the track
Driving a 6s car to/from the track is usually not a thing. At that speed you are running tiny fuel cells. I have a friend who has driven a 6s car to the petrol station and back to the track and video'd it, worlds fastest R35.
That day will come, hopefully soon. A G6E with all trimmings run a 6 at double warp speed. Ah, Barra, blue oval heaven.
Unfortunately I'm not sure it's possible, falcons are bloody heavy even a ba xr6 is 1700kgs.
My fgs 1750kgs I'm at 480whp 775nms and barely cracking the 11 with an 11.94@114 through a tr6060, an auto might crack an 11.8 ,hell u need 700hp just to run 10.00s in them 😬🤣

Jun11 is around 3500hp to run 6.30s and it's lighter than a falcon.
HPR is a national treasure, we should all support the track. Come out to the DYO challenge and show us you can cut a light and run your number.
Another great video, Frank is way too humble, he’s a genius!
Billet prone and Frank in the same video, life's good, love it
I've said it before, but it's a great time to be a Ford guy building a car. These engines are amazing. And I was a Holden guy for years. I like em all now. Those billet blocks are very pretty.
eta: outstanding viewing btw.
Cool to see brass and copper valve seats. Looks like jewellery.
It may be an Iconel or titanium alloy. Not sure if brass or copper would tolerate the heat...

@@Thundarr995 Got it. Reminds me of my Triumph Trident (1972) days☺
I love listening to Frank talk engines , I love big Barra blocks , pretty much heaven on a stick eh , good stuff.
The 1/4mile burn out.
One of the best builders of engines in the world Dandy race engines
Cant wait to see a falcon run a 6 with these bad bois
Definitely a 1st class operation. Wonder what an engine like this would cost ?
Great work fullBOOST
Barra the world 😘
what a work of art that thing is
A 7.44 at 185mph is insane!! Anything under a 9 is a LOT of work
20 years ago anything in the 9’s where a lot of work now days it’s a walk in the park
Awesome video boys its great to see great work
That xw's engine bay is a work of art
Pretty nice stuff. Definitely worth it. Definitely would use a Barra in a build
When he got the phone call that was the best part lol
I saw frank at willowbank raceway he even had the time so say hello Awesome bloke 👍
Wow how time and technology have changed 👌👌👌
Wild stuff.
Still surprised that they're not dry sumped🤔
7Great video guy's Barra the world... The boy's at Dandy engines are doing an amazing job. Here come very low 7 sec and 6 sec Barra cars...
Big ups to Frank
Works of Art.
i dont understand why a master like this needs to justify his ways of working..if were him i would never say ''some might not agree with this, but it works for us''
STUFF THE INTERNET TROLLS! TELL THEM TO MEET YOU AT THE TRACK IF THEY DISAGREE WITH YOUR WORK STYLE!!
What a cool engine and video.
Thanks
Franks seems to be very nice person and honest and genuine guy his cars go very fast but he still doesn’t talk him
Self up
very nice, my 1969 mini cooper s had a EN40B crank from factory
Legendary stuff boys!
how much do one of these Bara complete engine packages cost?
That crank case is a work of art.
Thanks for sharing 😊
Always enjoy the content from Dandy.
Can you make a street car mustang t shirt 🙏🏽
That was awesome! Thanks!
So how do u get end float of the crank with that bearing do u still use the factory thrust
Barra the world!!! 👏🏻😎
Really entertaining tube. Thanks 👍
Awesome guys, more content like this please, a small insight into the Master Mind of Frank at Dandy Thanks
So many blokes try to talk up their capabilities, so it's refreshing to see Frank (one of the top engine builders in the country) understating what he can do.
awesome video loved it
The Barra is the only acceptable replacement for a coyote
So now a Barra will try to catch the Road Runner (Meep-meep)?
I can see these powering 5sec 1/4 mile drag cars!!!!! Rbs and 2jz can im pretty sure this have the potential for it
Would love one of these.
i'm happy to see he knows the torque put on a bolt means nothing without measuring the stretch .
great work, nice bloke, great vid
There are a lot of great engine builders out there, but for me if Frank says “this how I do it” then that’s how it’s done. In Frank we trust
Excellent ...
It looked like those pistons were in the hole a little bit. Have you guys played with the quench clearance? I'm not big in the 4 valve heads but on a 2 valve it makes a big difference in detonation and power having a tight quench area. Great looking product!
3000hp goal Jesus Christ 😳
Follow up on the last motor that was off to Sydney. It's been 2 months. Whats the latest on that motor/setup?
awesome⚡️⚡️👍 thank you boys⚡️🇦🇺
I don’t have a billet block or fancy crank, but I’m coming for those times.
I really wish the Barra had made it to the US.
7.76 XD Falcon, just wow
Love seeing a fullboost notification… 🤙Australia’s own 1320🇦🇺🫡
The original and the best.. Fullboost.!
Aussie power at its best 💪🏼
Great video, great guys and makes me think i'd like to live in Australia
Incredible
These Nitto crank what is the actual material used? is there such a thing as a titanium crank?
Mates built one of these here in Adelaide, he will be shaking it down shortly. Well done Full Boost, so sick of EV content lol
nOT enough automotive scene here in Adelaide compared to other states.
EVs make me boil lol
Stunning motor
RAHHHHH **TORRINGTON BEARING MENTIONED** !!!
A RCSB f150 with a barra is a supra killer.
Finally a Barra that sounds good 🤣
maybe Frank should suggest to supercars to adopt the thrust bearing system he's using instead of what's causing issues at the moment
i watched 23mins loved it gg boys
Is that sikaflex that is being used on the head gasket surfaces?
Junior and senior Frank are good people 🇮🇹
I could listen to frank talk all day
Where do you guys find Molds for engines? Do you create them yourself based of dims?
Certainly the worlds highest performance Taxi engines !!
Do these billet barra blocks get a good heat treating before final honing etc? I noticed steve morris engines does this with the smx blocks.
So nice
the ceo of GM is "Mary T Barra"
ford australia sneak attack
Gold 🥇
Never seen anyone put sealant on the deck surface. What's the purpose?
What was the 3bond product used for the head gasket?
Maybe to better hold the copper gasket Frank installed?
Geeezus !!
Boys havin a blast...😝
Are these alloy? If so do they use liners or some sort of ceramic or nikasil coating?
Big brotha Barra R31 wags now has sister R31 wags with the 2JZ😁
WE LOVE FRANK VIDEOS
Barra Inline 6 engines are DOHC with VVT and 24 valves.
Wiki: Barra I6 3.3L and 4.1L are push-rod w flat-tappets
(however trustworth that is; I'd never heard of a Barra) ...
Sounds like you're referring to the old cross flow engine design. The Barra is a 4.0L.
I need this in a lowered truck.
Is it possibe to run these on a angle like a slant 6 ?
Such a tall engine
Would be good if they built billet hemi sixes and slants😍
