In this episode of HOT ROD Garage, hosts Tony Angelo and Lucky Costa dive into the iconic Ford Barra engine from Australia. This powerful 4.0L turbocharged six-cylinder is known for producing an impressive amount of tire smoke each year! Celebrated as Australia’s finest, the Barra holds a special place in the automotive world. However, the guys believe Chevrolet’s Vortec 4200 might rival it. With both engines being around four liters, inline-six configurations, and equipped with 24 valves, they decide to supercharge the Vortec engines and find out how they stack up against the Barra!
