Build the bottom end, then move everything across. Best way to learn and will be cheaper than buying everything separately. Just think about what tranny you want because if you get a 4sp auto or manual and later decide you want a ZF you may as well start again.

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 03/12/11 01:06 AM Share Posted 03/12/11 01:06 AM You've bought an X taxi.That is a T motor without the T. Everything else is the same. Actually in the BA the taxi pack I think was stronger than the T Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77992-advice-on-conversion/page/2/#findComment-1165350 Share on other sites More sharing options...
