Engines

The Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert V8s were carried over from the previous range, though the larger capacity small block was dropped and only the Cleveland engine was available. A Шаблон:Convert version of the Cleveland engine, with a two-barrelled 2V (venturi) carburetor was the top option on the XY Falcon and ZD Fairmont range. The Шаблон:Convert, four-barrelled, 4V version of the engine was only offered on the XY GT and GTHO.[9][10]
