I think you might be right about the FG givng me headaches with all of the differences:) But the price on the wreck was very good, so I just bought it and thought I would figure out what to do with it later. I wasn't aware that the FG sump was different. This engine appears to have the bigger turbo of the BA/BF model, as opposed to the regular (smaller) FG turbo. What other differences did Ford make to the rear end of the ute? Different springs, shocks, 2 links etc? Does you know what diff ratio was fitted to the ute? cheers conradYeah the typhoons keep't the bigger turbo. Only real difference is the eyelets on the springs. Wagon ones are oval where the ute ones are round. The ute springs still fit the wagon but you just have to trim a bit off the bush as they are a little bit wider in the ute. Other then that the rest is the same and completely interchangeable. Depends on the model for the ratio mate. The first one I got out of an XR8 ute was 3.23 then there was a 3.45 and now I have a 2.73 I think with the 6 speed manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
