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.

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?
