The Ford Falcon (XH) is a commercial range of vehicles that was manufactured by Ford Australia from 1996 to 1999, as an upgrade to the XG series of utility and panel van models which were derived from the XF full-size car and had been marketed alongside the new series sedans since the EA26 project release in 1988. The XH incarnation brought ...
A contra-rotating, ungeared, unducted fan (UDF) derivative with a bare engine weight (including the UDF) of 2,395 lb (1,086 kg), a UDF diameter of 85 inches (2.1 meters), and a blade count of 11 on one propeller and 9 on the other; provides a takeoff thrust of 9,644 lbf (4,374 kgf; 42.90 kN) with a thrust-specific fuel consumption (TSFC) of 0. ...
The coil-pack ignition system introduced in the EF was rolled back to the distributor-style ignition from the ED Falcon due to reliability problems. A divided air induction pipe which led to the throttle was replaced with a single, wider pipe. [8] Engine output remained unchanged at 157 kilowatts (211 hp) and 357 newton metres (263 ft·lbf).
The XG was marketed in coupe utility and panel van body styles [1] and during its three years in production it was sold alongside the EB Falcon, ED Falcon and EF Falcon sedan and wagon models. The XG carried over the XF Falcon body, with a new radiator grille, and repeater indicator lamps and engine displacement badges mounted behind the front ...
Falcon Predator sedan : based on a Falcon Futura sedan, it was powered by a supercharged LPG version of its 6-cylinder engine boosting output to 230 kW (310 hp); it also received a re-trimmed Momo-leather interior with upgraded sound system, upgraded brakes, 18-inch wheels and it was painted in Orange Copper.
An XF Falcon S-Pack equipped with the EFI engine and four-speed manual transmission tested by Wheels magazine in 1984 accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 9.3 seconds, ran the standing 400 metres (0.25 mi) in 16.4 seconds, and ran to its 4500 rpm redline in fourth gear for a top speed of 190 km/h (118.1 mph).

Initially a $384 extra cost option on the $20,014 base price of the Falcon GL, [6] and standard on Falcon S and Fairmont, the 3.9-litre EFI (commonly referred to as the CFI or TBI engine) gave significantly higher output, with 120 kW (160 hp) of power at 4250rpm and 311 N⋅m (229 lb⋅ft) of torque at 3250 rpm. It featured the same 91.86 mm ...
Later systems collect oil in a sump, from where it can be collected and pumped around the engine again, usually after rudimentary filtering. This system has long been the norm for larger internal combustion engines. A pumped oil system can use higher oil pressures and so makes the use of hydrostatic bearings easier. These gave a greater load ...
