THAT SUCKER IS RUNNING A BIG STICK.....its sounds like a solid lifter engine to me, though my own Clevelands ran big lift high duration Sig Erson cams using hydraulics (anti pump up type)... they were good for regular 6000 and a bit more..and the good thing was, if they shit themselves they just bent and replacement was a breeze..solids are really only worth it for contant hgh revs.(?) Tome, at 60yo, on the street in a classic I think they are out of place these days..just my ho.

Hi.

Phase 3 GTHO's ran factory solid cams, 2 were available. Specs were inlet 40-80, exhaust 84-36, 0.495 lift or the Bathurst cam had 0.525 lift with 25 thou clearance hot.

Info is from the XY GTHO Suppliment booklet before people jump on "thats not right" etc.

A bit of useless info, apparently some teams would run about 15 thou clearance to increase lift and duration.

@Mikec0087 sorry champ..

I never saw Phase 3 written on the page, I thought it was a basic HO with globes..so yeah its soundiing right..and its the best sound on Earth...

The only registered Phase 3 I saw and heard was a True Blue owned by a Italian bloke who rented the home next to me in Rye for Christmas in about 1977 >the sound of that car idling up the steep 40 m driveway is something I'll never forget..!! a sound that o cost me a fortune in fast Fords, if only I just bought a real one

That was a really cool day.

I have some other video I took and will post soon. There was that Frosted Pewter Phase 3, a Wild Violet Phase 3 and a very quick XY ute there.

Mike :)

Hey 67673444657578...I work as a profiler with the AFP. Let me guess...you drive a 4 cylinder fully sick package, with a fully sick sub-woofer that vibrates your brain to a point where you think it's cool to wear Fubu tracksuits...You also refer to the GT as a car that dosn't attract pussy...HA-HA you just admitted that you have an issue with how tiny your cock is because you need a fucking car to attract pussy.

Dream on WANKER! Maybe you should sell your 4 cylinder and get a penis enlargment.

@chapmanhamilton if your in the AFP you should trace him he reckons he used to steal gt's

@svlion1977 thanks champ but I have owned cars like one a LONG time ago, a lifetime ago..but we ran hard and fast, like there was no tomorrow and we spent whatever we had to...Healey Road, Dandenong and other heads up street stuff around Melbourne...loved it.
