I've seen em in the wreckers, they bring a smile of stupidity to my face. my Mate had one of those in their VC Bombadore, it wasent a powerfull engine it wasent even a very economical engine (for a 4cyl) but it was rather a tough little engine which out lived 2 gearboxes (1 auto 1 manuel) 3 clucthes a fuel tank and a radiator, oh they lived out in the bush BTW. as for the 3.2ltr coon, imho a MPFI conversion might prove interesting, ported/flowed heads - X$, an off the shelf stg4 cam - X$, the look on people faces when you tell them your doing up a 3.2ltr Falcon.......Pricless

they would be an interesting engine to put in an off road buggy,
with the revs you could make them do. not a great deal of torque so i wouldn't consider one for a street car. but an off road buggy say a front engine setup, 5 speed and a 4.11:1 diff, 2 seats, would be a tough little weekend fun machine |

Here are some interesting facts -
Compare the bore:stroke for a 3.2 EA and RB26DETT (GTR engine) - 1.15:1 vs 1.16:1 (compared to 0.92:1 for the 3.9) Weight of EA = 1418kg Weight of GTR = 1530kg Work that 3.2, boost it up = a turbo falcon that can rev like a GTR, has more cubes, and is lighter. Just need to work out the 4wd setup... (BTW: I am in no way saying that a 3.2 EA is better that a GTR - please dont flame me)

It would also be NOTHING like a Falcon. |

You roll up in your big black shiny Clubbie R8, couple of mates inside and get blown away by a..........3.2 litre EA Falcon
You would certainly upset a few people

I wonder how many 3.2ltr are actually still road registered? All but extinct I would think..... Even seeing an EA altogether is becoming a rare thing.
Does anyone on the forums have a 3.2??
