Typhoon/Tornado sound and/or video

Hey all,
Ever since I first found about the F6 Typhoon (which was shortly after it's intro, still don't know how I managed that one) I've been greatly intrigued by the car, specifically the engine. I still would love to have one of those motors plus its matching T56 for my 64 Fairlane.
Being that I live here in the states though, I've only seen the Typhoon and Tornado in pictures. I would love to see one in action, but if I had to choose between seeing it in action or hearing one from the time it starts, and running the RPMs up a bit, I would have to choose hearing it. A combination of both wouldn't be bad though :D .

It seems like Aussie Fords are so much cooler than ours, especially in the hipo division. If the Fusion was RWD, the F6-270 would be great in my opinion for an SVT'd Fusion.
 
Blueroo, I know this is all about personal preferences but I have got the Turbo falcon. A superb motor that pulls like a train but it doesn't sound half as good as my old 2V 250 with the pacemaker and twin system.
I grew up in a family with Cleveland V8's and my brothers were sure I'd replaced the 2V 6 with a 351C when they heard it with the new exhaust.
Sure the turbo sounds great but with modern exhausts you never get that same rawness and depth.

I did manage to find a clip of a Typhoon on a dyno, but it had stuff done to it so it wasn't completely stock. I wasn't too wild about the sound though. The power is the main thing that interests me about the motor, I just want to hear a stock version.
