I've only just brought an EF Fairmont it has the tickford enhanced 5lt 302 windsor in it. I'm looking to get a bit more punch out of her, i was thinking along the lines of getting a crate engine with a displacement around 347ci, or doing the motor up that's already in it. Im hoping someone knows about doing this sort of car up. I'm hoping to get about 400 to 500 horses out of her. If someone has done this or knows how to get the best set up for this car any information would be great appreciated.
Cheers |

I did up my EF fairmont in 1999 and ended up with about 400HP. What I did at the time was full rebuild up comp ratio, race piston, cam to suit. HM Headers with a 3inch exhaust no cats. larger throttle body as well. new remappped ECU. Cost me about $15K at the time but still was a 302. Stroking it would had more power. just be ready to spend the money to do it right. cheap goes bag quicker. Things I didn't do that I should of was a high stall and change the diff ratio. The fairmont has a cruz diff in it.
What do you mean your car is tickford ehanaced. thats what I said when I sold my in 2000 as at the time people did not want moded engines. I took the ECU out and sold it with the stock ECU -100HP, it isn't silver with a sunroof by any chance.

Surely slapping on a charger would be the easiest way. Sounds cool too!

supercharger is not so easy polyal u make sounds easy.
stroker kit and some kind of efi modification chip say unichip would be exelant direction for your car. I price up stroker motor from my friends workshop in coburg about 1998 i think was very common he said and was $5000 to build and fit everything. i tihk same price now just motor but fit is not hard. -mohamed |
