Inside ANMLXY’s 1060hp naturally aspirated 462-cube Clevor small-block

6 days ago | streetmachine.com.au | Andrew Broadley

If Peter Tsekenis’s ANMLXY isn’t the quickest all-motor, street-driven Falcon in Australia, it’s certainly up there. Having lapped the quarter in 8.44 seconds without any form of artificial aspiration, it’s a certified rocket. First published in the May 2025 issue of Street MachineThis 462ci Clevor is the engine that powers the car, and it makes a monumental 1060hp – insane territory for a street-driven small-block. “Is it a street engine?” poses BK Race Engines frontman Bill Kaglatzis.

Video: Rust repairs on a supercharged MR2!

1 week ago | streetmachine.com.au | Kian Heagney

Your regular Carnage chieftain Scotty Taylor is currently on holidays and having a blast in the USA, so for something a bit different for this week’s episode, cameraman Matty Hull steps on the other side of the lens. Not only is Matty a gun videographer, but he also knows a thing or two about building cheap and fun cars. He documented his Hyundai Excel circuit car build on his YouTube channel, The Nugget Project, which has more recently seen him repairing a pair of AW11 Toyota MR2s.
Ford Ranger Super Duty pricing revealed

1 week ago | streetmachine.com.au | Kian Heagney

Don’t be fooled into thinking Ford’s new Super Duty Ranger is just a Wildtrak jazzed up with a new badge and a snorkel – this thing is actually a first for Australia’s booming dual-cab sector. Pricing has now been revealed for the Super Duty, starting at $82,990 before on roads. Keep in mind that price is only for the single cab, with the slightly bigger Super Cab kicking off at $86,490 (before on roads), and the all-important dual-cab chassis (sans tub) commanding $89,990 before on road costs.
Video: Making our Torana parts car run!

2 weeks ago | streetmachine.com.au | Kian Heagney

In this week’s episode of Carnage, Scotty attempts to get our spare-parts TA Torana sedan running to see how healthy its little four-pot is. If you missed it, we purchased this white sedan earlier in the year as a parts car for our black, two-door TA Torana rolling shell. Unlike the black coupe, this more-door is as rusty as the Titanic, so it’s only good for parts.
SsCustom’s Mazda 800 ute in the build

2 weeks ago | streetmachine.com.au | Kian Heagney

Among all the amazing finished machines on display at Meguiar’s MotorEx each year, you’ll always find one or two gems still under construction that are just as worthy of your attention. In 2024, it was Rob Fekete’s 1970 Ford F100 pre-runner that sparked our interest, and at this year’s event, we were captivated by the SsCustom Mazda 800 ute in the Mobil 1 Performance World hall.
DRIF6: FPV’s one-off drift car revived

2 weeks ago | streetmachine.com.au | Kian Heagney

Long before young ’uns had swapped out overpriced S13s for AU Falcons to throw sideways at drift days, a small team from Ford Performance Vehicles unintentionally foreshadowed the trend with the DRIF6, an after-hours deal thrown together by the FPV engineers in 2006 in the name of fun. First published in the May 2025 issue of Street MachineThe car that would become the DRIF6 wasn’t picked fresh off the FPV assembly line to be built as a pristine, high-end machine.

First published in the March 2009 issue of Street MachineExesive by name, and by nature. The Exesive Motorsports National Open Drag Racing Championships at Calder Park, Victoria, had seven classes contested by some 200 entrants, and first and second places shared just over $20,000. As if that wasn’t enough, the class winners went on to compete in a dial-your-own elimination to bag the title of Grand Champion and a cheque for $20,000.
Nick Eden’s ‘Monarat’ HG GTS!

3 weeks ago | streetmachine.com.au | Kian Heagney

“The Monarat is a car I got back in 2011 from a local bloke. It had a two-shiddy-three in it and an Aussie four-speed, but it came from the factory with a 186S, so it is a genuine GTS. “That 253 didn’t last long. I had a 350 in it for a while, until it started to blister the blue paint it was wearing, so it then spent a bit of time in matte black, which I laid on with a paint roller. Around 2016, we turned it into what it looks like now.
Video: Finishing the rust repairs on our Torana!

3 weeks ago | streetmachine.com.au | Kian Heagney

We’re back working on our little two-door TA Torana in this episode of Carnage, as Scotty continues the rust repairs to get the car one step closer to hitting the road. In recent episodes on the TA, you would’ve seen Scotty replace the front floorpans with Rare Spares repair panels and sort out a few other rusty spots around the car. Although the bulk of that work is done, this week’s episode has Scotty finishing off the job.
