Problem two the engine is a carby motoer what mods can i do to get more grunt out of it. Problem three i am going to give it a respray any ideas on what colour i can do it

good pick on the car :)
i'd say best place to start would be taking a look around at a wreckers, most people will suggest to get an MPFI conversion done. other then that, look at other ppls cars on here and see what you like. :)

theres no such thing as a carby'd EA, althought the CFI throttlebody is really only a carby with injectors instead of jets...

I would start by doing a search for MPFI conversion, thats definately the best thing you can do to a CFI, next would be a T5 conversion and diff change depending how serious you are.
As for the repsray, remember if you change colour you have to do door jams, engine bay etc etc

are there any sites that have Ea fords so i can some ideas of other people have done there car up

frtmatt83

is there anyone in here know anything a the ea carby motors

Troutman

Yes, I know they don't exist. It's obviously some sort of rumour that started because of people getting confused about CFI. I've had a few people claim there were carby EAs, only to stand corrected.

You'll find lots of pictures at http://eafalcon.com/pictures/memberscars/
