JD's new car - EA Falcon

[JD]

Yes, i have defected to the Ford camp, but its a decision made with my head, not my heart.

I got 2 EA Falcons for $700 ( 1 is my dads and 1 is my bro's ), my dad's ( white one ) has a stuffed motor but the body is good and my brothers ( gold one ) has a good motor but the body is damaged.
so the motors getting ripped out of the gold one ( and some other goodies that he has ) and put into the white one.

This is the car that's getting done up

ha ha, EA's hey, i used to have a CFI 3 speed auto EA on gas, thought it was the sh!t at the time, i couldn't believe the grunt it had (i owned a 202 HQ before it), now i got the calais, i can't beleive i thought the EA was grunty. i aint baggin em though they still enough power to cause trouble.

You should put an EL donk in it, they are tough as (for a ford hahahaha)

First thing they are CPI not CFI.Only tip i can give you is remove the throttle cable from the plastic bracket on the rocker cover.All it does is weaken the cable housing and when it breaks you loose throttle alot.If the cable housing is broken then replace it.The difference is amazing.Will also improve kickdown.

CPI/CFI same difference.

CPI= center point injection
CFI= central fuel injection

 

[JD]

yeah i knew what i meant and i'd love a EL motor but the reason i did this is cos money is rather tight atm and i wanted a cheap runabout that has some balls.

along the track i'd like to put a ecotec in it, something different.
