me and my mate swapped cars to day for a bit he has a EF falcon with pacemaker extractors high flow cat and zorst
and i could not believe how much better it went compared to my car it was a rocket........ not sluggish at all unlike mine that picks up at 3 grand
now i want an ef or slam the engine into mine lol

we lined up at the lights wen i was in his car and he was in mine and we dragged i bet him by 5 car lengths only because the dumb a*** was driving with my hand brake on lol then after that he let it unleash

i reckon you should put an ef engine in your car or similar,ur expecting to much of what you have

i have just put in my ticky

its what i'm doing, easiest to go with a log intake though much easier than the BBM on the EFs and ELs.

Buy an EF.

I got mine for $1000 last week.

its probly goes better because of the low down power from the BBM as said above, and i think they made better flowing heads as they went through the series

so what do people think should i use an el or ef engine and just use the mpfi set up
or do the bbm conversion i have all the parts for a bbm conversion in the shed

you say you have a "high compression head" in your sig. What mods have been done to this ?
you running EA 3.9litre block ?
Std Cam ?

ea-falcon,
Seeing your calling for suggestions, I'll offer the following:
I have a low klm EL engine in my EB2 with log manifold, EL fans and ELXR6 diff. It goes like the clappers, an EF/EL with BBM goes better down low.
As a consequence of this experience I am helping a fellow member put a complete EL engine into his EB, which I helped pull from a write-off today. He bought this engine at a very good price and it's an excellent unit.
In our opinion it is quicker, easier, cheaper and therefore smarter to take the complete EL engine out and [using the EL ECU] wre it in with the EB loom using the method Troyman used for his AU conversion.
In one package he gets a great improvement in performance, a 100 amp alternator, elec fans, better fuel maps, knock sensor, BBM, serpentine belt setup, EL aircon compressor, distributor etc all already fitted and known to be working.
All this for only a few minutes extra time over an ordinary EB engine install, adding some wires and setting up the vacuum switch.
You can of course use the EF in the same way, except you'll have to fit a dissy, coil, EL ECU and remove a couple of things.
I suggest you sell the conversion you have in the shed and buy a low klm EL already going well and stick it in. Almost no extra work required.
Don't forget to get the BBM vacuum valve behind the washer bottle and the vacuum hose distributor next to it, the BBM won't work properly without them, also the accel pedal and cable.
I attach a pic of the work in progress, the engine is now out, took 2 of us less than an hour.
As I found, they go great with the log setup, they go better with the BBM [properly done]. The EF's the same, just a little more work.
Cheers,
Paul

cheers paulmack im spewing now ayy we had a low km ef falcon staked from my lil bro driving it into a house but we sold the engine recently just kept the bbm
keep me posted how the conversion goes maybe write a sticky on it i will be keen on doing this in the near future because the performance you get and hoe cheap it is
