Tough intech and save monty!!!

Definitely save Monty, you won't regret it (even if it means a lot more sweat, blood and tears)!!! A good strong NA INTECH is the way to go as they are a very capable engine.👍

Do it mate get that quarter off! Nothing better than being in over your head and swimming like hell! Best way to learn.

Really glad to see an update, Browney! Personally, I’d love to see a SOHC build, just for the obscurity and interest, too many of them get tossed away now. I love how they sound too, classic E-Series Falcon note. That name you uncovered will be from a worker at Broadmeadows, on the assembly line. A little Easter egg on these cars!

Love the box cars. Save Monty!

Intech for the wintech!!!🎉

SOHC for life

Was worried when the video started, but stoked and fully agree on your decisions with sticking with the EB and building a N/A single cam. Gotta love the single cams and sounds better than barras for sure plus you already have a barra anyway haha

Re the rear guard: to be honest , it doesn't look bad enough to need replacing ... it's a pretty big job compared to straightening out what's on it now! . But , if you must change it , here's a quick version of the process: Remove rear bar , window , rear seat , all of the c pillar trimming (inside and out) , parcel shelf , rh rear door pinch weld and anything rubber or cloth that can be burned by weld (I'd even advise the removal of the carpet inside the car) , oh and the back wheel - as there are spot welds under the wheel arch . You can buy specific drill bits to drill spot welds , you'll also need a hammer and a nice sharp chisel to cut away the panel , they're also glued in spots (like between the two panels at the wheel arch) . and , the time it takes to cut and weld the outer panel of the c pillar , you may as well go all the way to the roof . 👍 I'd highly advise trying to repair the one on it first though , and if that fails you can move on to replacing!

Barra swaps at this point have been done 2 death. A tough intech would be awsome

Either ITB or tripple webber + massive cam 🤤

So keen for this build. Definitely need more e-series videos on youtube!

Can’t wait like the eb

And i thought i was a Billy Funt lol. You'll be fine m8. I'm sure you'll get a lot of help. \m/ SOHC \m/

Can’t wait to see this series!

Try Prestige sunroofs burwood east Victoria they fitted a lot of ford dealership sunroofs.

Sohc, you already done barra and so has everyone else, tough sohc ftw - you will keep more viewers

Looking forward to the new series, but love the BA.

Stick with it mate and do the NA single cam for sure. Top work mate. :o)

I'm excited for this build.

Keep it all original much easier to get stuff done👍

Keep the video going. Great work

SOHC with an old CAPA supercharger setup. Great work mate.

I agree the sohc engine does produce a nice note, when you rebuild the engine use a hypereutectic piston this is a upgrade that will handle the higher compression and heat, swap the inlet manifold from a ef/el onto the engine this will increase torque and hp , use crow cam valve springs and cam, learn how to do a basic port and polish job on the head to increase flow and overall performance or you can purchase 1 already done from cylinder head warehouse in Brisbane,

Browney, Try Prestige Sunroofs Weatherill Park, Sydney. They may have what you’re looking for. The company done a lot of factory sunroofs for Ford.

I recon you should show fixing the rusted panels, all the best to you and your loved ones have a good day mate

Grouse house Browney! I'm glad you're sticking with the SOHC, you're totally right, they sound mad. When you're looking for painting equipment, you basically have 3 options: 1. Spray cans - Pros: cheap, low entry point, forgiving - Cons: Poor overall finish without wetsanding and buffing later, excess waste 2. High HP, low volume air compressor (like the 50L 2.5HP ones from Supercheap) and a LVLP spray gun - Pros: Relatively cheap for what you're doing, decent finish off the gun, you'll learn a lot about professional spray painting - Cons: only decent finish, not as good as a professional result, costs more than just spray cans if you're only doing one job 3. High HP, high volume air compressor and an HVLP spray gun - Pros: best results, learn the most, professional quality results if executed correctly - Cons: very expensive and a learning curve to overcome to get to those professional results I highly recommend watching the Gunman's channel on KZfaq and Paint Society as well. Those two channels will help you the most on your technique and required prep. Good luck with it all mate!

Really looking forward to it mate 😊 🍻

Pretty much all you need is the ba block and possibly ecu Do what ya need to the sump Put the top side of your old plenum to the bottom side of the barra one use your old crank angle sensor, barra have 2 so you may need x2 sohc ones so both wire up correctly, not 100% sure if the clip right in may need to do some wiring, btr box will fit right up, rest is common sense, you'll get it mate

Love your work mate, looking forward to following this build. 👍

Leave the quarter panel on and get a few panel beaters in to give you a quote on repairing it

Yes yes yes E-series time 👍 great to see this project start either way you go this will be great. All the best and good luck mate cheers

Hey Browney I had fuel pump issues on my EBII recently. Turned out it was the wiring from the relay that had corroded over the years. Just something to keep in mind.

Monty for the win

Save it mate

Sounds like awsome project mate looking forward to it 👌 monty is a good name for eb and loveing the process on the ba so excited two my favourit falcon models e series and b series 😍 deffently love ur chenal

Big ups

Long live the single cam and add some nostalgic fruit to it

Yes EB Ghia Fuel pump if it is stuck , well I made a big thingy to undo it ,

The SOHC definitely sounds better than a barra. But what about a Windsor, sounds infinitely better than both and would be a bit of fun in a nice light E series with a manual.

turbo the sohc, just finished my manual eb. worth every dollar

Can't wait until you start. I have an EBII and worked on some common issues. A Barra swap will definitely iron out a very annoying dizzy failure issue they all have

Save Monty!

The name on the driver's side C pillar is from the factory.... my ED had the same thing (different name)

Looking forward to this build as i have 2 ef fairmonts im playing with. I would see if you could buy a quater cut for the area ypu are repairing and not destroy the ed body and turn that one into a track car.

Definitely worth saving, it's a nice car apart from the quarter. I like the sunroof too. Looking forward to watching it.

Honestly everyones over barra turbo and barra swaps. I own an XR6 BA and while I love it I'm currently trying to swap it for an ED. I LOVE! the SOCH engines and the cars are just better

Barra Barra Barra YAWN Stick with the sohc leave it With what it came out with

Hope it was Quest Carpet Browney keep this silly bastard in a job 🤣👍🍻

On the sunroof there was a recall I think check out the recalls on the car

This looks exciting. Something different from a Barra Swap into EVERYTHING! *With the engine you could consider an AU engine swap. Far more around than the Barra and is basically a Barra with one camshaft. Would be cheaper too. There is also a lot of info and previous projects done with them. I know of an AU engine in an ED that was turbo'd and drag raced that was very successful. Something to consider? *With the sunroof I would expect Windscreens O'Brien, or similar, would have some knowledge on them and how to fit/fix them. Considering the ED is there you might be able to use its head lining and just rip up the EB one out. *For the 1/4 panel I'd suggest cutting out the section that is damaged on the EB and get the same metal from the ED and butt weld it in. It's a huge job to do the whole rear 1/4 for anyone that hasn't welded before and it could turn into a nightmare. There will be things you didn't consider that will dampen your enthusiasm for sure. You would certainly need a lot more tools than if you did what I am suggesting. MIGs are now cheap and there are plenty of welding tutorials here on YT that you could learn from. *My last suggestion is get it registered asap. You certainly won't have to explain yourself about the mods than later when you try to get it registered. Just a thought and a little experience I've had as a suggestion. MOST IMPORTANT is this is YOUR project and YOUR car. Anyone that tells you what you "should do" or calls you names for not doing what they would aren't here to support what YOU want! You hear it so often on other channels, Hand Built by Jeff comes to mind. If you change your mind and want to put in a Mercedes Diesel from a Sprinter van in then that's your choice. I'd actually follow that because it would be very different!!! You could even fit Ford Territory suspension and running gear with the Mercedes engine!!!....................Sorry, lost my mind for a tick. Good luck! I'll be watching every episode!

Try and grab a S1 AU Motor, my mate cammed and turboed one and got upto 850nm Without a turbo and with heaps of nice mods you could easily get 550nm as an NA Also, message Hackshop Garage, or Richos Customs. Both have really nice Turbo SOHCs

I don't think anyone in their right mind will argue boosted barras sound terrible haha up the hi comp intech

In the options list

If I could hear the sohc in my Ltd over the rattles from the lifters then it may sound better than my Barra wgn ,trick is to get rid of that resonator on the sohc,I have a sportsman nc and it just snaps when I blip the throttle.

If you want it to go hard, either a turbo Barra or a 427😁

98 EL hybrid engine, Au mls head gasket, head studs, valve springs, cam, fuel system, Barra ecu, j pipe with a decent wuhan war whistle 🌪 450rwkw

I’m not even 5 minutes in and I’m saying yes yes yes. The Barra is great but indeed they don’t quite sound as good as a SOHC. If Ford had have produced a forced induction SOHC it would have also been a world beater (if they knew how to make a head gasket back then). Keeping the EB shell is truly keeping your first car. I’ll continue watching now :-)

Love your content mate. My vote would be save Monty do the body work and build a mean N/A intech for him to receive nitrous later and then maybe progress to forced induction, please supercharge it hahah. Keeps your first car around and makes a shitload of content for us viewers 👌

Speak to Peter at Custom Sunroofs Maidstone. He is the guru of sunroofs. He rebuilt my VS roof, Installed my VZ CV8 roof and redid my AU Ghia roof full rebuild. You will not get better trust me!

convert the k frame to ba or fg falcon would be a cool upgrade, it's something I'd love to do to mine,

13:38 you need to detail ya jams BRO. But save Monty 😎

I owned a Brock EA for many years and the mods he did were very we'll done the one thing that improves performance was his twin catalytic converter extractors he had on it and the note it made at 5000 rpm was awsome

Keep Monty and give her a big cam. Once your ready for forced induction maybe find a new shell and keep Monty

T5's break with stock power. GL. I have a forged SOHC because I didn't want a Barra but they are a better base for a NA with higher comp ratios stock and the DOHC does flow better

I completely agree with you how Barra's sound compared to SOHC's. Barra is no doubt an amazing engine it's just it can feel generic and a SOHC I just like the simplicity of it and it feels the SOHC has more character and is just more interesting to me.

Save Monty mate far more satisfying to save it

Did I see EL/EF door trims in your car? I didn’t know that they could fit

I reackon turbo the intech and bring your first car back to life

Build up the intech

Sohc turbo!

put a big cam in it hahaha lumpy SOHC INTECH

👍 up from me browney i carnt decide weither il build an angry na or go turbo intech in my xf so this will be helpfull to me 😂. Your right barra dont sound as good as the old sohc. Bring on the next chapter in montys story😎🤘🤘

If they make a carb manifold for the motor you have, throw a 2 barrel on it (or 4) and see how much it takes before going boom

Up the sohc

Please keep the SOHC in the Fairmont. You already have a Barra. I have two factory LS cars and a VS 5 litre im rebuilding to a 355. Yes it will make more power LS swapped but Id rather keep it old school. PLus you have one of each.

Keep the SOHC- everyone does Barra swaps!

I’m not a panel beater, but replacing that rear 1/4 looks like a massive job. Wouldn’t you be better off giving it another go at trying to straighten the damage and fix any spots of rust. I reckon it will do your head in trying to get everything to line back up once that whole panel is removed and you’ll regret it. Just my non panel beater opinion.

Can someone fill me in on those rims had some on my el falcon loved them all the way to me selling them

Just put the king 6 in it.jz kills the barra..jz cost more but you get what you pay for.

Intech

Barra swap it, DOHC is life

SOHC

You know they make v8s.. you know for men.. LS

Have a crack

Sohc Barra sounds bad

AU House runs a tuff turbo intech in his drift AU 👍
