Still only 2 valve per cylinder, so it's not that advanced.

BA onwards is DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder.

Also like how the gt's 5.4L quad cam makes close power(290kw) to holdens 5.7L(300kw)...imagine if ford brought out 5.7L quad cam

I don't know but I would estimate somewhere around the 220-240kg mark. The new Holden V6 would be lighter as it is all alloy whereas the Falcon six has a big cast iron block.

230kg or so, interesting guess. The reason I asked was:
- The Falc 6 has cast iron block, but
- The Commode 6 is a V6, so has duplicated valvegear, heads, etc.

I'd still expect the V6 to be lighter, but I was thinking it might be closer than just cast iron versus Al alloy...
