Default Fairlane power figures??

Hey guys, As i may be up for a new car soon(refer to http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11219703 )I've been doing my research on EL's and AU's. I've got a lot of specs for a lot of the models, but what seems to be difficult to find are specs for the Fairlanes and LTD's.

What i wanted to get was the Power and torque figures for 6Cyl and 8Cyl AU and EL Fairlanes and LTD's.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

The 'lains generally have the same engines as the Falcons, thats why it would be hard to find specialised info on them.

Not a bad site there Dauphin

The AU LWB apparently had a slightly more muffled exhaust taking approx. 4 kW off the VCT figure.

Which is the same as the AU Fairmont Ghia, and the EFII and EL Ghias did it to. They all had a quieter exhaust than the XR6's, which resulted in a few less kws.

Another variation is the AU LTD V8's had 185kw XR8 spec motors instead of 175kW like other non-XR AU V8's
