    Let me see, Phase 3 was designed to win Bathurst, bigger engine, very little pollution requirements, MPG? who cares!!! Noise Pollution? who cares!!!
    EB GT, first of the EFI GT's, subject to pollution laws, not designed to win Bathurst, getting tighter with pollution laws, MPG is a big issue, noise laws now in legislation.
    Sadly the GT 40 headed Windsor was no match for the "Cleveland from hell "
    That said, both these GT's would be welcome in most of our garages.

    Fair points, except the Phase 3 wasn't quite the Cleveland from hell; it was just starting to clear its throat. Sadly we never really saw what the factory could have really done with this engine before it's untimely end.

    Well, the EB also gives away nearly 50 cubes to the XY.

    I think we may have inadvertently hijacked the topic. Sorry Ian. One thing that isn't in question is that this paricular EB GT is a fine example of the breed ...and we would all love it have it!

    Err Ports in the head, you could shove your fist down, camshafts wilder than your dreams could imagine, huge valves, av gas, at least 11.5 :1 compression ratio, Holley carburettor jetted to the max, disconnect the rev limiter, that gorgeous shaker intake. Clear it's throat? More like it had a tonsillectomy!!!!
