 Hi everybody! this is my 1st post.. i have an ef fairmont.. I6 converted to 5sp.. so far it has a cold air pickup, pod filter, extractors, 4-2-1, 2.5 inch exhaust.. 2 weeks ago i baught an ed xr6 head with a stage 2 crow cam and an adjustable cam gear 4 $750 all up.. all xcelent condition.. The head atm ia at Racetech" being "ported" "polishing the deck" and having "brass sleaves" inserted into the valve stem guides... for minimum friction and a longer service life im told..
any ideas for the amount of power this combo would be making when pieced together?????   ive also purchased 10 millimetre "top gun" ignition leads 4 d beast... trying to go from this=  to this=

I hate to burst your bubble dude but have you seen the fin in the combustion chamber that shrouds the intake valves in the ED head? This was deleted from the later model heads as it proved to be more of a hinderence than a help to flow rates and fuel atomisation. You might want to look into this before you stick it on your EF as you will probably get a lot more out of modding the EF head in comparison.

If thats the case it would be better to just swap the cam over and go from there. The cam would need to come out anyway, so you may as well But then you dont have a head on your car while you modify it. Unless you could sell the head and get an el one?

And if you get an EL one make sure its an early series one as the hybrid motors (AU/EL) had the AU 1.8:1 rockers which wont accomadate your cam easily and you will loose a great deal of power trying to fit it anyway as the lift will be decreased

did you have to do any mods to your computer after changing to a manual?? just wanted to know coz my EF Fairmont Ghia never had any conversions to the computer or anything else after the changeover to a manual. Is there any conversions that i need to do?

It's an ED XR6 head as opposed to a stocko Fairmont head though. I reckon the XR6 head would come out at least even or possibly on top power wise. |

Have you physically looked inside the 2 heads to compare? Tickford heads arent worth the T stamped on the front of them. The reason I say this is that the intake runners on tickford heads are riddled with casting imperfections as are the standard ones. Thats why with all the differences that the tickford cars had they only came up a couple of kw over standard motors

The tranny is out of a ED, i think he paid well bellow a grand for the parts and later sold his old tranny for $600.
