    Disclaimer: Did a search for this with no luck.

    Is it possible or does anyone have a working mod of this engine?

    With all variants, turbo, stroker, de stroked, NA.

    There are some 11000rpm destroked units out there pushing 2000hp.

    Possible? Yes.

    Am I gonna do it? Depends on the quality you expect.
    For example, if you want it in every car, like Meo's LSX and 500CUI, then that's a maybe. It's easy but would take time.
    Also the customisability. Do you want every induction type, lots of detail and a very realistic part selection? Eh, I'd just make a huge blower and get the heck out.
    And importantly, the model detail. You want it top notch, vanilla+, Meo LSX spec? Nahhh.... I personally would edit a similar looking I6/V8 and call it a day.

    If all, nah. I'm bored, but I'm also lazy.

    Or as a second thought, if you write a very inspiring paragraph on why the Barra would be a fantastic addition to the game I might consider it.

    First things second, I personally are amazed at how people like yourself Ryo13silvia that are content creators, just blows my mind just what is and can be done.

    Those Meo engine models are something else, I plan....I am attempting to make a burnout video with the custom camera edit and all that using a LeadSled with the 500CUI in it. Trying to go for the Aussie burnout competition look. Key word is attempt, no editing prodigy here. The way that blower motor shakes around in the cars is a clear sign of the animal it is.

    Onto the Barra, not to be confused with Barracuda - the fish, which is rather aggressive and toothy, the Barra-mundi - another fish, is more subtle but will swallow it's prey in one mouthful, good ol bucket mouth, fierce fighters too. Some similarities to the rather stout Barra 4.0 ltr. Very adaptable and capable platform, stock internals (crank, rods, pistons) on LPG Barra's are good for 1000hp, just add a good oil pump, turbo and injectors and voila, mega ponies and all the blow off valve noises.

    Seeing as the Ford Barra is no longer in production, having the Barra live in Beamng.Drive will be a fitting tribute to the V8 slaying legend that is the Barra. Has been a champion in keeping the Ford/Holden rivalry alive for just a little longer here in AUS.

    Those Barra's have been popping up everywhere, even in DragWeek 2019.

    I'm feeling so patriotic right now I want to eat a jar of Vegemite and wash it down with some Bundaberg Rum

    honestly I could do it if you really want this mod. Sure, I don't know how to model. Sure, I don't know how to make configs for the car. But the engine would be there with it's power.

    A burnout video! One of my people! It has always been a concern of mine that BeamNG lacked a proper place and parts to do real skids. As for the map, I cannot make one, but I can certainly help make a perfect engine.

    And no, I do not have patreon - I work for myself, and if I want to make something, I will make it regardless. I am quite convinced.
    Feel free to DM me over discord, check out my forum bio page thing.

    A few months back ive heard R4King (custom i5 dude) was planning on creating a custom i6 which could of been tuned to barra specs but if that never happens use turbo anything which adds a fully custom turbo system with custom ecu (able to push a well tuned car to 10000 rpm) and the ability to select a bov, whistle and spool sound with adjustable volume, and that can be applied to the engine of your choice as it utilizes the additional modification so any car can have over 1000HP with no issue, hope i helped

    Okay, sorry for the bump, but has anyone made this or any other Aussie cars for Beam? Yes I’m aware of the XB Falcon, but I’m wondering if there’s any VFs, VYs, VZs, Toranas, Monaros, AU Falcons etc, will also pay for a patreon.
