1988 EA Falcon 3.2L

hi,

does anyone have a photo of inside the boot of a 1988 EA Falcon?
something seems like it could be missing.

thanks.

it looks like there is a piece of trim missing on the right hand side??
uve got the cover for the jack on the left, but on the right there will be nothing, just body, well im just going by mine which is 1989

You have a 3.2L EA?

Wow...pics?

[ten[A]cio[U]s]

Yeah pics please. Never seen one before. Love to see engine bay.

Is there such thing as a 3.2L in an e-series?

[Damo]

^^ yep there sure is. The 3.2 was a CFI motor and was dropped about 9 months after EA's came into production from memory. I would also assume the engine bays look almost identical to a 3.9 CFI.

lol uhhh yes unforunetly

one of the EAs many faults

4.0 conversion that thang

[snypereb]

Yeah the ea was renowned for faults wasnt it!!!

[TuMor]

How can 3.2L's be still alive, they were gutless and chewed more juice then the 3.9L. Work of the devil if you ask me

[naughtyfalcon]

i'm changeing my 3.9 over to a 4l so there'll be a 3.9 available in a few months..head gasket already been done,,

[SileNceR]

come on, multipoint conversion then dyno!

3.2mpfi would be interesting... hehe

[naughtyfalcon]

would it work on a 3.2,,i must admit it would be interesting..

[old_mate]

There were ideas many moons ago that pulling the rotating assembly out of the 3.2 and throwing it in the 3.9/4.0L block would create something that could rev a bit..

[Qwikcorty]

that would be the same as a normal 3.2 motor, they just had a much shorter stroke crank, same bore size. be a nice motor in a cortina with individual runner efi and a rev limit of 7000.

the 3.2 had much smaller valves.

Would be interesting to create a mpi 3.2 with a 4.0 head. I guess chuck in a cam suited for high rpm and you'd justabout make enough power to match a stock 3.9 due to being able to rev it harder. the torque wouldnt be there tho

I think it involved 3.2 rods in a 3.9/4.0.

[Gunns]

Turbo a 3.2L it would scream!!!!!!!

[snypereb]

Has anyone got a pic of this 3.2L would love to see it?

[TuMor]

Yeah, ive never seen one before

[NZ]

prob no different to the 3.9 cfi except the head will have 3.2 cast on the front

[stockstandard]

It is just a 3.9 block with a few different internals. Not that exciting.

yep it is just body. must be the same. thanks. it just seemed a little odd thats all.

[snypereb]

How many cars did they make with a 3.2L?

[outback_ute]

133 or so

[snypereb]

So they are very rare these days!!!

[Rmyers]

For anyone interested, i believe turbo tonies new motor being built for the caravan tower is actually getting destroked. Not sure if they'll be using a 3.2 crank, but I will try to find out some more information soon...

does anyone know if its still possible to get parts for the 3.2L?

[Paris Hilton]

I would have thought 95% of the parts would be identicle to the 3.9L

nah, apparantly some of the parts dont fit the motor and other parts correctly, we already tried.
