 |
|
Hi all, I am a bit of newb so excuse me if I seem niave. Can anyone make any suggestions for some basic mods to my EB II straight6? I've only owned this car for a short time and I would like to beef it up a little...I dont have a lot of scratch at the moment...so basically I want to start from the bottom up and make this Falcon a force to be reckoned with...details are below:
1993 EB II GLi
Auto
4.0 ltr 6 Cyl Inline w/multi-point injection
Ford S 16" 5 spoke mags with crap Tyres
Paint need some work & a little rust here and there, but nothing major
MP3 player
The car is pretty much stock.   |

Something cheap and worthwhile to start off with would be to buy a K&N filter and a XH snorkel  |

| I wasn't sure they made a Tickford snorkel to suit the EB-ED 4.0 but I know the XH snorkel works well cause I have one on my EB |

K&N filter is usually around $130 depending on where you go and the XH snorkel will set you back around $30 to $40. |

There is no Tickford snorkle for an EA-ED. You're thinking of EF-EL. They're completely different shapes, because the EF/EL airbox is 'upside-down' |

It's piss easy dude. Basically it's just removing old snorkel by undoing two nuts on the intake side, and the screws on the airbox side. The you hack of the raised section with a saw, and put the new snorkel on, making two new holes into the radiator support panel for it (to screw it down). |
