I wouldn't give up just yet, i recomend going half way. like fitting an eb-el 4lt engine and 4spd auto.. that way you get your EFI, and still get an OHC engine. There are plenty of people who do it out there, and there should be plenty of info around these pages. Even if you fit the 4lt engine and a t5 manual, and run out of money for the EFI gear, pick up an EA CFI manifold and tap some studs in there and mount up the weber carbie on it for a while..

XR6T-XF in progress wrote: hey all i am going back while i still can with my conversion
 i have run out of money patience and time i wish i didnt have to do this but im puting it back to a 250 crossflow but adding efi =simpler and cheaper  Are you going to sell the motor?? Pick and Payless in Blacktown, here in Sydney have some EFI crossflows in falcons and fairlanes, complete with wiring and computers still in the vehicles....would make a good swap, but why go for the older stuff when you can have the relatively new engines as stated from an EL or whatever for a decent price.....my EL engine with acc' only cost me $850.00. Engine conversions seem str8 forward, but can be very time consuming. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. Cheers  Daz

this is what im hoping my ute will look like once complete  these are a few other progress pics the bumper is only a trial fit not the one staying on it as it is damaged and twisted up      this is what ive done sofar with the xr instrament cluster the cluster is not staying in this casing , once i have it figgured out properly and i have a new face plate made up then i will put it all in an un damaged case         and this is where my sedan ended up

you might get more interest if post a thread in the forsale forum with all the info and pics..
to be honest looking at the condition of the ute, being un finished, un engineered.. probably not worth to much... the running gear depending on what it actually is and how many kms are on it really depends on what your going to get for it.. |
