bensxrs New Member 5 Member For: 6y 11m 14d Posted 28/06/18 10:04 AM Share Posted 28/06/18 10:04 AM hey everyone, new to this site. Sorry if this has been covered before but I couldnt find any leads on it. I have an xr6 turbo motor and 6sp manual complete for transplant into a BF wagon and I was just wondering if there's a way I can tell if it is a BAII or a BF motor? Motor and box came out of the same car but im not sure which one. Is there engine numbers that I can check or a build date or something? cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94050-ba-bf-turbo-motor-how-to-tell/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number is on the exhaust side near the bellhousing connection.

BF has two, one at the front and the back! 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94050-ba-bf-turbo-motor-how-to-tell/#findComment-1659621 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bensxrs New Member 5 Member For: 6y 11m 14d Posted 29/06/18 04:54 AM Author Share Posted 29/06/18 04:54 AM thanks guys I will have a look and send the numbers in to find out when it was built. Was the ba mkII motor any different to the mk1 or did they only change the build and quality in the BF's?

bensxrs New Member 5 Member For: 6y 11m 14d Posted 29/06/18 05:26 AM Author Share Posted 29/06/18 05:26 AM would love to do an f6 swap but the budget isnt there. Are the BA, BF and FG exhaust side (stock) manifolds all the same?
