With my '96 EFII wagon reaching a decision making milestone for me -"shall she stay or shall she go" and with the thought of this good and faithful servant being gone from my life being a daunting prospect, I thought that perhaps a repower might make sense. Any way I cut this thing there will be a big cheque book involved and there's know way around that. Sooo, if the old 4ltr six is coming out, I thought a Ford V8 of medium mileage from around the same period as the car - the 1990's, might be an interesting change. The question is: will a V8 motor from say an EF Fairmont/Fairlane bolt straight up to the trans already in my car or did the V8 powered cars have a different transmission from the six's?
Cheers, Bruce.

stick with the six, and no the V8 won't bolt up to the 4l gearbox

cheaper/easier to sell it and buy a v8

I bought an EF2 V8 once.

It was shitful slow.

Dont do it.

I got an el 2 and it hasn't changed

They call the V8s 5.slow for a reason. If you want more fast out of it, turbo the 6.

That was the most long winded way of asking if a V8 will fit into a 6 cyl ef that I have ever seen

Even the thread title was a bit weird

So what - is that the only contribution you could make?
Whats wrong with being chatty, or is than forbidden in your rule book as well?

I'm glad I don't live in your drab wee world, mate.

I think your totally irrelevant comment contributes nothing to this discussion and probably comes under the heading of a pervious post from a moderator - was it you - of "low quality posts"
I want to thank very much all those guys who did take my question seriously and gave me a respectful, friendly and above all, answers that were designed to help me unlike these other two members who saw my question as an opportunity to sneer!.

Thanks to you other guys, I appreciate the help. And for what it’s worth, I’ll stick with a six.

Cheers
Bruce

Says the guy with the most long winded E-series V8 build in history?
