THE XW GT and it’s Specifications
Ford further refined the XW GT with a Cleveland 351 engine, still with 300bhp. The Cleveland engine was used in some late Phase I GTHOs (also known as Phase 1.5) produced around March & April 1970. These were a long way short of the proper Phase IIs as far as development is concerned… using the standard hydraulic Cleveland engine (but with 600cfm Holley carburetor), wide ratio gearbox, 28 spline diff, standard drums, etc.
In its first appearance at the 1969 Bathurst race an XW GTHO came in second, in spite of wrong tyre choice which saw the works cars pitting for unscheduled stops throughout the day.
Production of the XW model resulted in 2,287 GT’s from May 1969 to October 1970 and 662 GTHO’s from July 1969 to October 1970.
