yes, you'll find there are a few late 87 EA's.
ive also seen up to 3/88 XF Ghia's, so ford must have run the XF ghia a little longer....

Yep it was the 3.2L carby engine. Believe me, it looked like a carby engine and it went like a carby engine. Couldnt believe Ford released them with it.

I'm with him. ^^^ No such thing as a carby ea. They look like it but they are CFI. 3.2 was dropped pretty quick because it offered nothing when it came to fuel econ and nobody purchased it. CFI was phased out for EB2 and MPI became standard instead of an option.

A guy at my work has a factory MPFI manual spak EA dated in 87. I have heard of 87 EA's before but I assume a factory MPFI manual would be quite a bit harder to find??

Has anyone got a pic of the 3.2 litre EA engine that so many have spoken of but no one seems to own or have pics of?? Are they a rarity now?
