I fabricated a manifold for a cross flow 250 back in the 80s,we used a Holley 465 4 barrel,the car was quick and very drivable.

Re: EL Falcon engine
I'd like to know about the reprogramming as well. Also have you had to do much with the sump to clear in the Cortina?van460 wrote:The efi wiring side of things is very easy

Fg sump works in a Cortina, still need to give it a slight chop above the steering rack or you can drop the rackMeeksie wrote:I'd like to know about the reprogramming as well. Also have you had to do much with the sump to clear in the Cortina?van460 wrote:The efi wiring side of things is very easy

Re: EL Falcon engine
Bloody hell Mont I saw a ripper motor today!
I would love to have one of these. In a old bloody Falcan
Couldn't work out what gearbox but he still had 3 pedals and the old gearlever on the column.
Tricky bugger.

Re: EL Falcon engine
Thats a BARRA engine Dave .I think it was the best engine ever made in this country ,not hard to get 1000 hp out of them ,looks like it has carbs or some sort of injection
