Default EF head/cam onto EA.

Hey Guys,

Since I've made the decision to turbo the EF instead of the EA, my little bro has inheritted the EA. He's not doing anything special with it, just getting it roadworthy and making looking a little bit healthier to use as his first car.

I have the old head off my EF and a spare EF cam sitting in the shed that I am contemplating giving to him to put on it. Would it make any worthwhile improvement to the car?? It was CFI, but has now been converted to MPFI (but still have to get it running properly). If there are decent gains to be had by putting it on I'll help him do it, but if it makes stuff all difference, there is no point pulling it to bits. The engine has 320,000k's on it, but seems ok, doesn't blow any smoke and runs pretty smoothly. I'd rather have the parts on a car than rotting away in the shed, but I don't want to waste a weekend giving the car a headjob if I'm not going to get anything in return.

Daniel

I plan this mod, I believe it will make a difference for the small amout of dollars, plan an ef head/cam and AU head gasket, ed inlet, and extractors/exhaust at some stage.

I've spoked to my bro and he's keen to help me out, so we'll throw it on at some stage.

Lol Damo, it's amazing how closely related women are to cars!! :P
