thats pretty lucky in that case... my transmission on my old ea blew so i bought myself a ba xr6... they are good cars for putting alot of kms on.... but a headache when it comes to maintenance.
all my friends who have b series fords have experienced all of there common problems including the heater shaft and the rear diff bushers making the thud
also have a mate with a 200kw eb 5ltr who just spent 2.5k rebuilding his transmission and is still worried that it wont handle the supercharger thats soon to be added..
on the other hand the 6 speed auto/manuals are alot better
