I remember there was one of these sprintex blown 6's in Kalgoorlie, EB but, when the EB was a new car.
It died when it met a power pole !! We were on the "turps" and heard the crash, nice mess!! I am quite sure that spintex in Perth were doing them. As soon as I saw the bonnet scoop on your pics it brought back a few memories. It was a bit of a weapon, EB fairmont ghia, jarrah/burgondy in colour.

You sure the engine code was R? R means 3speed auto in the transmission section

Interesting thread. Someone give Mazpro a quick buzz and see if they know the history. The yellow pages says mazda, hyundai, and Ford servicing.

I thought that the most interesting part of teh car was the twin throttle bodies (both standard EA) going into the blower, with 2 extra injectors on either side. The dual-stage linkage setup of the throttle-bodies was pretty cool too. I would have thought 2 standard throttle bodies to have been far too big? Maybe the second throttle-body doesnt open entirely i guess. I'm am getting a ford engineer friend of mine to ask a few people at work if they know much about it. Off topic, but the lucky ***** got to drive the sandfire concept ute a couple of months back! (well, he moved it to another spot in the shed lol)

I remember something like this many years ago going through Fowles, their was a Fairlane and yes they are rare. The story i got at the time was that they were a special order job, I think it was a dealer fit/option not so much a factory job though, but it was at a bad time with fuel prices pretty high at the time that was what killed any interest in them.
Yes it was a Sprintex from memory too, almost bought it but didnt like the cloth interior on the fairlane.

If this is a factory/complianced car the plates alone are worth the 5k asking price.
Really, is Mr Plod going to know the diffrence between a sprintex or a 3.3L Whipple/2300KB?

If it's of the ones that I'm thinking, their should be a badge on the guards which should read 'twin screw supercharger', again it has been a while and the brain has copped quite some abuse in these years so forgive me if i'm wrong, but I know their was a badge.

I saw the car with Jared, and I agree with many: it feels too good to pass up. It was a family car, not flogged, so i'd assume that it shouldn't need too much $$$ poured into it before it FLIES, so as a project, it could be a good'n.

I am getting the car looked over in the next week by a mechanic to see how close to RWC it is. It would need new thermo's (no shroud), new consumables, a rocker cover gasket, and a complete going over of the engine bay. It looks to have some shoddy wiring under the dash near the aftermarket computer, which I am assuming needs to be at least tidied up for RWC. The interior probably needs attending to (seat belts dont work etc) but the cost of all of these parts isnt that large, and the RWC doesnt cost me anything. Stay tuned for further updates. Quote:
