Cheers mate!! Will definitely be bringing some more E-series content to the channel soon. Stoked to see the E-series still have such a strong following🤘🏻🤘🏻

Thanks mate, much appreciated!! I'm trying to cover things in as much detail as possible, but hopefully it's not too boring😂. If any of these videos come in handy for someone looking at doing something similar themselves, I'm happy! Stay on the hunt! Surely a nice, well looked after, cardinal red EF/EL will come your way!! They definitely are a nice car to drive. I drive a BA/BF daily and it's a pleasure to jump back into an E-series everytime i get the chance

Wow!! That would have been an epic build in the early 2000's. Sounds like that EL Falcon would have been a tuff car, 298rwkw is a damn impressive amount of power, would have felt pretty quick with the auto box too!! I only got into the E-series scene in 2008 when i got my first EF Fairmont, back then there was a few turbo'd and supercharged 4.0's getting around but majority of the modded ones were just the typical street N/A builds. It's great nowadays there is a bit more of an 'aftermarket' selection of parts.

Cheers brother, much appreciated! I probably should have jumped on KZfaq and started vlogging my builds from the start, but we're here now! Hopefully my EF turbo will make an appearance soon on this channel before it gets a refresh this year🤞🏻😅 Awesome to hear of more turbo E-series Fords getting around, yours sounds like a mean build! Turbo SOHC or Barra turbo swapped, they make an E-series so much more fun👍🏻

Cheers mate!! Hopefully it doesn't lose too much of it's chop at idle once it's tuned properly

Thanks bro, much appreciated!! This EL probably has done the rounds on Facebook haha, I don't use FB for anything other than marketplace so not sure where it might have popped up😅 The stage 3 crow cam is still fairly mild so tuning shouldn't be too much of a headache. It definitely needed some fuel trimmed from idle rpm's, base idle speed lifted slightly and some timing adjustments to get it running decent, this was in an EL XR6. I have heard of the EA 3.9 cfi cam being a popular swap into the 4.0's. Not sure on spec's, but it's comparable to a mild street cam from what I've read. Is your EB all up and running right now? Or still deciding on which cam to go with?

@Late-Night-Nate yeah bro still deciding on cam.when I decide what I'm doing ican finish assembly and get the engine back in the car.

Thanks brother, definitely more car content on the way!! 🍻🍻

Thanks mate! I always knew those kick panel clips/pins would come in handy for something☝🏼😂😂😂

Cheers brother!!🙏🏻🙏🏻

Good stuff mate!! Get ready for the beautiful idle note, it really does make the old 6 banger sound tuff!👌🏼

Cheers bro!🍻🍻

Good stuff mate, E-series manual's are a damn fun car, even more so with the right cam and supporting mods👍🏻

Mine did also, haha. Let's just say I may have lost a lifter and/or shim a couple of times before when doing cam swaps 🤣🤣🤣

Chur my bro!! E-series going all the way up this year☝🏼

Scored that cam on Facebook Marketplace hahaha, it was originally bought through T.I Performance though. They sell all the Crow Cam products and J3 tuning gear etc👍🏻

Good stuff bro! Hopefully there's some handy info in this video for when the time comes to drop that cam in👍🏻

Definitely is my bro 🙌🏼

Pretty much the same process. I'm not 100% sure if the later model XH got the 'hybrid' head which the later EL's and AU's got (they have a different cam to suit the different valvetrain setup), but either way the process is the same👍🏻

Stock exhaust is long gone on this car. It's running Pacemaker 4499 headers, 2.5" mandrel bent piping, 1x straight thru bullet resonator and 1x muffler before the diff. From memory, the stock exhaust I pulled off it years ago had the big stock catalytic converter, small muffler up front, big muffler before the diff and a 3rd muffler in the tailpipe section with 2.25" press bent piping. It used to be almost silent😅 Power wise, it would be making bugger all right now to be honest. Until it's tuned properly, i won't know for sure, but I'd estimate around the 150rwkw mark. The cam wants more compression and the head could do with some porting to get some more cfm flowing through it. I'd say 160rwkw should be achieveable with the right head combo. Keeping in mind the auto trans will be sucking up a lot of power.

@@Late-Night-Nate oh right I have a set of 4499s in my au xr and 44980s I think in my xg didn’t realise it was swapped already because u still have the stock sheild wich is uncommon, a lot of people try to show off pacemakers, I honestly thought the cam and tune was what was giving it that sound, I’m trying to learn about sohc 6 internals I want to do a turbo build xr and decent power built na motor for xg, atm all I’ve done is head studs and maintenance but plan on a hot cam, this video is really helpful, especially considering I’m a 17 year old dumbass that doesn’t know shit about motors, cheers mate if shout ya a slab if I knew ya irl

Sorry about the late reply dude! The cam i used in this video was bought second hand, but originally from T.i Performance. They sell different camshaft options, upgraded valve springs, the J3 chip and programmer etc. Everything is available on their website. www.tiperformance.com.au/products/crow-cams-ea-el-falcon-4l-stage-4-camshaft-2221514/

No such thing as too much money on an E-series apparently, all they're good for is taking all your savings🤣🤣🤣

Already done the spring upgrade when the head came off for reconditioning about 4 years ago. Just went with a heavy duty drop-in valve spring, didnt bother with double's. Might upgrade to those later once the head comes off for porting.

Still the stock one for now. Really needs a hi-stall converter around 2600-2800rpm to get it up in the powerband of the cam

@@Late-Night-Nate does it drive fine with a stcok converter?

Hey man, I'm based out in East Akl, so not too far away from you. I can probably suss you a base tune to get you started. I wouldn't exactly call it a proper tune unless it was on a dyno with sensors to monitor air/fuel mixture and detonation/knock, it's all guess work without that info tbh. Flick me some details anyways and we can sort something out, email is nwt351@gmail.com 👍🏻

I should say no..... but, any more details on the Fairlane? Asking for a friend👀😂😂

@@Late-Night-Nateit’s ef2 ltd ex government etc etc boneeee stock

Hey man, where you based? What cam you looking at running and what's done to your AU so far? Hard to put a price on it because some cam swaps require a bit more than just dropping the cam in. Some require valve spring upgrades and a tune to get it to run depending on how aggressive the cam is. Preferably, you would want to free up the air intake setup, do a good set of headers/extractors and a free flowing exhaust system to get it breathing better first before the cam swap

Sorry for the late reply bt I'm in auckland my au is a vct tickford standard as I want to pt a lsd in it n a cam your 1 sounds tuff

@mattyedwards1105 oh nice! Those VCT motors are a good base. Not 100% sure how things work with upgrading the cam though (the VCT will affect the way the cam works so will either need a way of locking the cam gear or replacing it with a non-VCT or vernier adjustable cam gear) Might be best to check in with T.I Performance and see what's required to get a cam upgrade to work. Tuning side of things will also need to be looked into.

Hahaha, the old granny that used to drive this would beat my ass with her walking stick if she saw it now🤣🤣🤣

Nice clip, you've earned another subscriber.👍

@Mr357Cleveland thanks mate, much appreciated!👍🏻
