I have seen a few posts on putting v8 in to ea
bodys. I have seen in the trading posts complete registered V8 LTDS going for $2500 to $4000 quiet reguraly. Could you swap all the drive line over to a ea without engineer certificate. You would have all the suspenssion, emmisions, etc, just currioss as would be cheap changeover with a good unit. The early 88 up were all 5 litre efi units.

you would need to get an engineers certificate as the EA's didn't come with a V8 from the factory.

you wouldnt need an engineers cert to put a V8 into an EB, but you would to put one in an EA...
but there is nothing wrong with an LTD, keep it as a cruiser. there is a rusty & crook auto NC V8 on ebay for 750 atm... but it has 16" simmons wheels, so you'd be able to sell those for the price of a good auto im sure.... i'd love to get it as a parts car, it looks to have good guards and is the same colour as my car lol.....http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Ford-Fairlane...QQcmdZViewItem |

barnacus off the forums had a 6cyl T5 modified to suit a V8.
he had a different input shaft made up to suit... they are a weaker T5 than the V8 ones though and if driven hard you'd break it far more easily than a V8 one.... |
