We check out Deerk's awesome XE Fairmont Ghia "DUTCHN" as it gets tuned and put through a few power runs on the Tune Corp Hub Dyno.

The car has just undergone a new engine build at Prowest High Performance starting with a Dart Windsor Block, Stroker Crank out to 400 Cubes, Steel rods, Forged pistons, Solid Roller Camshaft, Ported CHI Aluminium Heads and a 950cfm carby all running through a C4 and 9 Inch Diff.

After last weeks effort on the dyno where a Pinion Bearing failed, the diff was removed and completely rebuilt. Check out the video here:    • DIFF FAILURE ON A HUB DYNO!!!  

Early runs on the dyno were already showing 500rwhp, but with some carby tweaks and a little more timing the team finished with a very respectable 577rwhp out of a pump fuel 400 cube small block. Perfect for a weekend cruise or a good belting at an event.

Stay tuned for more feature videos over the coming weeks.

Thanks to Prowest High Performance & Tunecorp.

  • That looks wicked man. Sounds beastly too. I love the simultaneous beauty and simplicity of that yellow trim and wheels on the black body as well. Probably the best looking sedan of the XD, XE and XF range I've seen.

    My first car was an XE. Looked and sounded nothing like that. Sweet rig.

    Beautiful car!! Struggling to believe 667 Ft Lb at the wheels though. 400 cubes wouldn't make that at the engine let alone wheels. Mint combo though.

    Near on 600 hp Street ride is not bad at all... Just discovered that xd did esp too By looking at a ol' Aussie performance car chart that was hang up in the buck shed...
  • Solid roller and mechanical secondary’s for the daily driver...
