What would you need to do to a 4.0L EB Falcon to get it running mid 14's?

Extractors, 2.5 inch mandrel bent system, Crow cam and chip package, port & polished head and cold air intake.

Would that have an EB running 14's?

Thanks Chris

manual or auto ?

diff ratio of 3.7's or 4.1's would assist...

Just ask STOKEB. His best time is a 14.5, my guess, he will get a 14.2 sometime soon.

Just off the top of my head.

AU bottom end, AU head ported (not by JMM), Dev5 cam, JMM extractors, 2.5" zorst, 5 speed, 4.11 diff, pod filter.
He still has the stock ECU and fuel system.

Slicks... 1/2 a second there.

depending on where you live, a custom surecam or a wade cam would be a better bet than crow - they can grind you a cam bigger than crow do for less money, and tailor the cam to suit your needs. if you decide to get a proper big cam then a chip would be benificial, as well as head porting...but decide if you are going to go to that extent BEFORE you get the cam - get the head done, then give the cam place the flow figures and they will do up a cam to suit it - it will go heaps better than the other way around.

3.9 diff gears and LSD (you would need a correction box to make the speedo and auto work properly) extractors of your choice (pacemaker race series, JMM or wildcat?) seem to be pretty good. quickcorty has pacemaker i believe (14.6 quarter) - but JMM are good too IMHO - and a 2.5" mandrel bent system with two straight through mufflers.

thermo fans from a EF are good to gain a few kW from, as are a pod and some kind of cold air induction setup..there are a million billion threads on here about what people have done...

you can ditch your spare tyre, jack etc, which might gain a little as well, but best of all its free.

try source some 225/65/15 brigestone G3s that are worn and put them on steelies for the back, they stick great if you get them nice and hot at the strip :s6:

Rollin sounds like he knows what he is on about.
Hahhaah sorry mate, couldnt help myself.

You can now get retread slicks, you end up with a streetable slick. I think they go for around the $120 each whic isn't too bad.

Also you shouldn't need a correction bax for the diff gears, just change the speedo gear.

Ford only make a gear up to 3.45 with stock tyre height. After that, you will need the correction box.

VDO make a unit, its about $200 I think.
