Oh dear, didn't think I'd get any controversy over this, all my life I've modified cars, it's what I do.
Sounds like it's getting harder and harder. I would have thought alot of components would be straight swap, guess not

BTW when was everyone who modifies falcons called a wanker? a BA XT falcon is known for being the base model 6cyl. have a look under my bonnet and you will not see a straight motor.

i personally see no point in it if you're just throwing a 5.4L POS in it.. just go buy an xr8..
but if you're doing it to put a diiferent v8 in it i guess thats possible...

Get an XR8, much easier and the way it was meant to be.. Lol i'm not sure if you realise an XR6 with a v8 would be pretty much be an xr8?! Its not like a B-series car is something ultra special and you shouldnt be changing the engine or something! hell change the badges and you'll have a hard time convincing someone it was an xr6! I've done a couple of eseries V8 conversions and when done properly its no worse than a car that would have come with an 8 from the factory.

If I remember correctly the xr8 has a small brake upgrade which would be required
Also sure the xr6 came out base as a hot 6 but in b series it's just a povpack with visual upgrades. bodykit and interior  strongly recommend a donor, but would also say with all the effort you'd want to do something specil to make it worth, a pair of something hanging off the sides may I suggest.

Do some research guys
Xr6/xr8 are identical , as long as same model , , most of everything is the same k-Frame ect ect , I just put a worked 260 boss in my xr6 , and runs like a beast it slid in there nice and easy had it done in a day , didn't have to change any wording Just little s**t like relocate trans lines Aircon lines day , |

Dude, in 20 years from now when you find your hacked xr6/8 in the barn, then find my original xr6 in my barn….. I know which one would hold it’s value! Why? Because people will appreciate the machine that Ford made! Not the wanna be engineering nightmare you made!!!!!
Your better off putting a turbo kit in your 6 so you don’t disrespect Fords hard work!! |
