They cant even build their own engines which is why they import obsolete American PUSHROD motors. Not to mention the turbohydromatic that Americans describe as "clunky" at best.

They make a similar setup to suit Cortina's. At least if your using Holden calipers you have the satisfaction of knowing that's one less Holden on the road if your that way

I like Fords, but I by no means despise all Holdens. thanks for providing me with a goof laugh. I dont think your gonna find a much better set of Ford callipers anyway, I think some Falcons even used the same calipers as the HQ, PBR
