    Our fords got 485687+ k's (odometer stopped working about 7 years ago lol) Same gearbox, same diff, same engine, same heads. Only things we've replaced are the power steering pump and the alternator, the alternator due to the power steering pump dripping onto it. Apart from that the most reliable car our family has ever owned

    Good buy

    My mums old ef was invincible. Once the thermostat sealed itself shut somehow while driving on the highway so the engine overheated effing quick and while she was pulling over it seized. Dad just came out and put in a new thermostat and a new radiator and it started first turn.

    Nice ride for 2K

    Now for mods

    Ghia interior
    XR6 Springs
    Climate conversion
    BA Shifer mod (This is the one mod I would like in my Ghia)

    Just look after the cooling system, change the oil every 5K and your set. There are plenty of Tech docs for it on Fordmods

    EF's are awesome cars. The inline 6 also makes towing a crap load easier.

    I've seen them go well over 250k on gas. Parts are almost as cheap as Commo's.
