I'd love to do this too...funds pending...give it a few months and if I find a box though...

Are AU manual box's able to fit into earlier E-series?

saudia_man · 14-09-2005, 05:42 PM

I want a manual too, one day..

EBIIBurner · 15-09-2005, 10:20 PM

i guess it will either be a coversion or buy another car

lets say i spend 500 dollars on a 5 speed ea falcon 3.9 mpfi would i be able to take my 4.0 mpfi engine and chuck that into the ea would it fit straight in are the engine mounts any different on the 3.9 would the 5 speed transmission connect up to my engine cheers

Damo · 15-09-2005, 10:29 PM

yeah the 5 speed would bolt up, engine mounts are the same etc, but it would be heaps easier to transfer the 5 speed from a cheap EA into you EB.
