tss ford

How about asking the previous owner, if he has the engine and trans still, or even the supercharger parts?

If he has on-sold them, maybe you could even track down the parts and buy them back?

If it's ever going to be collectable, a matching numbers driveline will help to add value.

hi i do know the original moter and trans is land fill just out side melb somewere so that is not an poption sadly, and i only found that out 2 days ago i have a shovel but i dont think someone would like me digging up there back yards over there lol, it is a shame people can get something a little different and then distroy it with stupid mods , thanks

[Zedjay]

supercharge the windsor and leave it in there!!!

[cairfull123]

i have thort about that mate but the winsor is sad and transmishion screwd so i may well go back to ariginal supercharged 6 this car i special to me so i am doing it for my qwn benifite

[Zedjay]

id be leaving it as a V8....just buy a NC fairlane for the running gear..5.0Ltr and auto..and it will all be bolt on ..changing back to the 6 wont be as straight forward as you think......
it would be the same as doing a V8 conversion on an EA but in reverse lol

[Polyal]

yeap leave it as a V8 if finding the original equipment is to hard, which it will be.

Its been engineered with a V8 which makes it an unique EA anyway. If you really care for the car then restore it.

restoring this car is no problem as i work for custom world auto is tas and the boss is an fedral agent for transport and an engenear sig, and our workshop is a quiped to cater for this car, from hot rods to convershions and he brings what ever you want from the states, so i will go ahead with its restoration

[Nikked]

I for one hope you convert it back to original TSS condition.

[cairfull123]

hi nicked , yes mate it will go back to the supercharged 6 i will do the best i can to put it back to what it was made like, then have fun cruseing in it

[Nikked]

Yep, fully enginereed supercharged 6 is better then a everymans dirty windsor.

[cairfull123]

No definately not a one-off, I think the idea was valid but they really didn't look all that good and as such were never really accepted - plus if I remember, even back in the early 80's they were VERY expensive as I think they were only Pirelli tyres that fitted the rims.

[cairfull123]

hi gentalmen it has been a wile cince ive spoken but regarding that gold tss I asked questions about just thort I let you know she is restoreing well its original coulor was red so she is red again the v8 has been removed and a 6 fitted in about 3 weeks she gets the supercharger fitted the spoiler kit has been removed and the repairs to it are well under way hopefully in a about 5 weeks she will be burning rubber onec again have a good day cairfull

[Polyal]

Thats awesome mate, the EA might have a tarnished name but nevertheless its part of Falcon history and this is an unusual car that will draw attention at shows etc..keep us updated with pics please!

[Nikked]

omg, photos please!

[cairfull123]

photos will be posted soon the body kit is still off it but should be painted next week but sadly we blew the motor today on the test bench lol so have to rebuild it so that will start on Monday had plenty of oil presher and water but sezed solid in the blink of an eye sertainly fixed the mechanic up as he was bosting how good it was when it sezed but I will post photos soon it has the same spoiler kit as the red one on this page I don't think my car is still on here but if it is it is the gold one

[XR6WGN]

It's good when old projects finally come close to completion - look forward to seeing the photos.

[Iggle Piggle]

Have only seen dual tyres like earlier in this thread once - was in the late 80's on a VL cop car in northern SA.

Good luck with the restoration - obviously means a lot to you, so good to see you sticking it out.

[ausEDwagon]

Anything happen with it? Also odd one. But is the cluster /speedo different to stock? If so can you put a photo up?

[Carrion]

Cant wait to see this thing.

Photos please

Those twins were put there for safety in the first place. As has been explained in earlier posts, they were an early attempt to eliminate hydroplaning and according to tests I read at the time of their release they actually worked.
They never took off for many reasons, not the least because they looked rather weird.
