Bf Barra 190 Into Ba My Next Project

[falcon73]

Morning all, as the heading suggest I have recently acquired a very low K BF Barra 190 N/A 6 motor complete, So considering this Barra 190 has done approx 150000 k's less my Barra 182 motor it would be silly not to change over.

Question What would be involved and needed for the change over?

The power output would be better being a Barra 190 as straight off I will have the extra 8kw then if we add all the mods that will definatley go higher than what it is now.

Would I have to use the BF computer or will it connect straight up to the BA computer?

I also picked up a 3.45 LSD as well so that will go in at the same time replacing the 3.23 so I will have a little gain there, all this will take a bit as I still have to clean and detail the motor, paint and polish some bits and pieces.

While we have the motor out I am also considering if I should upgrade to a higher stall converter gotta try and sneak that in somehow, what is people recommendations.

Any feedback would be good

Cheers

Tips on little go fast bits I can add to the motor like polishing or porting heads tricks with T/B's things like that would be much appreciated as well

You will need to use the bf computor to get any gains.

You will also find that wiring may be different if the bf motor and computor come from a 6speed auto car than it is different wiring to the bf 4 speed auto wiring.

Ok maybe problem 1

Come from a Bf with 6 speed manual.

Still have the computer plus the complete wiring from the whole car including the engine and trans wiring
