Just reading through "Unique Cars" this week, and noticed the Romano car (EB Fairmont?) is for sale, for $30k+ !!! I haven't got it handy, but it's the same car featured in one of the ford mags. It's running a naturally aspirated 347 stroker (with 8 throttle manifold, looks hot!), with ~460rwhp (345rwkw), T56, road legal slicks all round, and it looks like one of the best sleepers going around. Apparently it's won every dyno comp it's entered (sub 400ci N/A class)...
I dunno why I made a thread, but I just thought it was a pretty cool car.

Did a search and found this on the "690hp" beast ^^^ "Block : Ford Motor sport A4 race block with 4 bolt main" "Motec fully programmable computer with lambda and data logging" "8 x 45mm throttle bodies with linkages and inlet manifold to suit" "Trick flow alloy cylinder heads (modified)" "T56 Heavy Duty Transmission - close ratio" Some nice ingredients right there. Pics for those who don't know the car but are too lazy to look: ![]() ![]()

You'd be so cool if it was 1992 and you took it to the local 7-11 on a Saturday night. The females would love it! Sundeep |

Awesome looking car though. That's some serious power. I don't care about looks, it's how it performs that counts.

To make that kind of power it would probably rev out to 8000rpm, would sound absolutely nuts.

Lose the bonnet vents and rear spoiler, then replace the rims with black-centre FR19s and colour code the door handles. That would make it one of the best E-series.

Who painted my EB red? :P
I've always loved this car, and yes it did previously have a scoop/"snort" that was compared to the (then-new) BA bulge. |

Either way would look crap - get some different simmons (or keep them, would probably look ok still), clear indicators, colour coded door handles, take a little out of the ride height and tint the windows really dark FTW. |

I reckon that car is great. I don't see what's so ugly about it. I reckon it looks good. Just needs clear indicators
