I do have a spare head off the first motor so can go that way as last resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdidily6401 Member 57 Member For: 6y 4m 22d Posted 30/11/19 09:23 PM Author Share Posted 30/11/19 09:23 PM ok, am pretty much ready to do the conversion on the xf falcy, have bought an 04 barra complete with Turbo and trans, got the wiring loom back to firewall, ecu, and fuse box essentially everthing in the engine bay. Sooo where to go from here, can I use the original manual trans?, what engine mounts etc, should I go with upgrading the rods while engine is is on the stand, ( will be putting in new valve springs ) any advice please, have spent the morning trawling the site trying to find a dedicated stream on this but so far no good.
