I wonder if anyone's tried to get extra performance from the 3.2 (MPFI, etc)?
It'd be interesting to have one of those with all the performance gear that 3.9's normally use, because the shorter stroke might mean it'll rev better. |

dod anyone read the text in the link posted???
did anyone catch this part... The 3.9 could out-perform the old 351V8 not bad ford.... you did something right and the starfire engines were pretty much the 202 with the 2 cyl's cut off they came from vb right through to the vk's

The guy who said the Camira will do 16 second quarters.. it may be capable of doing that, but it'll break down waiting for the lights to go green!

Getting one of those would be like getting a holden camira. you don't know much about camira's buddy!!!!!!!!!!!! A stock 5spd JE Model Camira with the 2l Opal engine, (85kw@5200rpm, 176nm/3200rpm). It will do a quarter mile in a flat 16 sec. I have seen them getting in high 15's with pod and extractors & sports exhaust. A good 5sp, JE camira with an 85kw opal engine would probably pants most e-series cars on these forums unless they can do the quarter in under 16 sec!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The 5spd are geared really well and will nearly pull 100km/hr in 2nd, huge torque steer every time you let them rip through the gears. Power to weight ratio can sometimes make a small car go very quick!!!!!!!!!! cheers............ What?............ So you like your Camiras then mate?

So true. Put a massive cam and head on a 3.2 and it will scream. You will lose torque because of the drop in displacement, but drop a 5 speed and 4.11 diff behind it and take it to 8000rpm+ on shifts and I would be surprised if the old 3.2L couldnt get some results.

3.2 Head was actually different to the 3.9 head... Valve's were a fair bit smaller and I think the combustion chamber would have been as well.
