DRIVE-LINE:

Under the bonnet lies a professionally built 393ci Cleveland V8 assembled by Nostalgic Engine Developments, based on a 351 block and built with premium internals. The bottom end includes an Eagle crankshaft and I-beam rods with ARP bolts, ICON forged flat-top pistons, and Hastings moly rings, all balanced for reliability and performance. The valvetrain features a Crow camshaft (234/244 @0.050), hydraulic Crow lifters and heavy-duty pushrods, with Yella Terra rockers atop worked heads with 4V exhaust valves, 2.070" Ferrea stainless intake valves, Crow HD springs, moly retainers, and bronze guides—all finished with a 3-angle valve job. Induction is handled by an Edelbrock Air Gap intake and Holley Sniper EFI throttle body system, while ICE ignition, a DEA custom twin exhaust system, and Davies Craig thermo fans keep it firing, breathing and running cool. Backing the engine is a heavy-duty FMX automatic transmission with a 3200rpm stall converter, connected to a strengthened BorgWarner with mini spool rear differential. An Aeroflow Comp oil and transmission cooler with fan adds further durability, and braking is taken care of by a four-wheel disc brake setup. Suspension and Power Steering components have been fully rebuilt or replaced, with new coils, shocks, and bushes throughout.

EXTERIOR:

The exterior of the XE presents in outstanding condition, having undergone a full bare-metal restoration. The deep formula blue paintwork is laid down to a high standard, with a gleaming finish and excellent depth, accentuating the car’s crisp bodylines. The car retains factory-correct detailing, enhanced by the aggressive street machine look of the polished Centreline wheels. Glass, rubbers, lighting, and exterior trims have all been refurbished or replaced, contributing to a clean, sharp and crisp visual appearance.

INTERIOR:

Inside, the Falcon has been fully renewed with a near period-correct yet fresh aesthetic. The cabin features new deep bucket front seats with seat trims, door cards, carpeting, and headlining all put to stock style. A crisp sports dash houses a full complement of factory gauges including Tacho, providing both function and visual appeal. The overall finish is very clean and purposeful, blending factory styling cues with subtle upgrades suited to the car’s performance credentials.

SUMMARY:

A smart street machine with show-quality presentation, this 1984 Ford XE Falcon offers a complete ground-up build with no shortcuts taken. This XE Falcon stands as a turn-key package for the clever enthusiast looking for an aggressive yet refined old school Aussie muscle car, ready to go hard. A very clean and sharp car.
