HI there
I'm in the very slow process of doing up an xy sedan i bought many years ago. I am thinking of putting 5.4 xr8 or GT motor and trans into it and was wondering whether it will fit. Has anyone done this before and how would i go hooking up speedo and tacho into xy gt dash. Also is there any internal differance between the 260kw and the higher rated motors or is it the computer etc. |

Already have an xy ute with a mild 351 clevo in it and was thinking of doing something a bit different with the sedan. Although there is a bloke on ebay with a 400hp 351 windsor crate motor for sale that could be an option

There are a few differences between 260 and 290+ engines. Mostly piston and cam differences.
These engines will just fit in an XA-up engine bay but, XY and earlier means chopping shock towers. It will be much easier to go the 351W route and use an EECIV from a Mustang or EB-D 5.0 Falcon to run it. |
