Hi all. I'm just wondering if anyone has any info on if Ford ever made any V8 Panelvans in the XG to XH era.
I know they had utes but I can't seem to find any Panelvans. |

I thought that was the case.
That's a real shame too. Anyone checking this thread gone from the V8 ute XH to AU? Keen to see how different they were |

Unfortunatley the XR8 XH panelvan was never made.
It was something that i was planning to do years ago but never did get around to it. I would still like to do it one day. XH2 XR8 ute running gear into an XH panelvan, add the XR front end, nice set of rims and it would be a nice cruiser. Wouldnt be much harder to put an AU V8 into it either. |

I've always wanted a Panelvan and to get a latter model (compared to the typical 70's era) with a V8 in it would tick alot of the boxes for me. |

I had a 351 XF, actually for sale as a rolling chassis. Could make an easy XG/H conversion. It was a great car.

This one was engineered. It would have to go past an engineer. Best is lpg to avoid the unleaded ADR's
