They did a story on XE in AMC. As far as I know only ESP had 351. Pretty sure they came as a manual and were used for the police.
XD had more options for 351.
I didn't think 351 was a common option for commercials in XD and I XE I think you were hard pressed to even get 302.

Wrong google is your friendOriginally Posted by wbute
The 351 engine was available restricted during the XE series to only falcon GL and fairmont ESP sedans
fact
I think you need to do more research. Wikipedia is notoriously unreliable.
Limited release equates to similar to 5 litre in WB commercial vehicles. Available but only to a select few who held a dealer to ransome.
Seen plenty of gl falcons with factory 351 most of them were ex police cars and and they were not ESP or fairmonts
all had basic interior
i owned a 4.1 litre xe falcon and was into them back in the the day was always on the lookout for a 351 but they were always out of my price range
I've heard tales of a WB one tonner with factory 5 litre, but have never seen tags for a WB commercial with a 5 litre. Have you seen any?
How good would it be to find a factory 5 litre WB Kingswood ute - stuff dreams are made of.
I've only ever seen one, a yellow Cab chassis, L31 M40, column shift and bench seat.
Not sure dreams about WB's are common! Go one better and find a HZ Sandman 5litre ute. Will always be worth double what a WB Kingswood ute is worth!
According to this ford forum they only did utes in XH. I probably shouldn't keep this going, it is a ford after all. But it is a panel van.

But the heart wants what the heart wants lol. My first ute was a WB so they've always been special to me. I've had 3 sandman ute's but only 2 WB's - need to even the ledger first :-)
Not really. Sandmans are not really uncommon any more. 5 litre factory WB commercial? Pretty much one of a kind
