If you use XF mounts and the complete loom from the EA it should be sweet.. as being an ea with out smartlock you have less issues... the only issues i can see is getting the dash to work correctly with speedo and alike. I have heard of people doing something like this somewhre just a matter of searching and research

k thanx for the info.
dont need to worry bout the loom and such and the current plan is to take out the CFI carb and replace it with an XF carb and XE Dizzy to bomb out the need for the ECU. didnt even think of the engine mounts. |

I would just plug and play an XF one as they are closer to the EA then XE (if iam lead to beleive). I don't know what the difference is with efi to carby but the CFI dizzy as (one or two) contact points to help tell the injector to fire. the MPFI has 6 points to again help tell the injecter to fire. So i assume that the carby dizzy has no points as no injectors on, but was the XB a points dizzy or electric? should have a look and compare the spline off the two when it comes to installing or swapping you never know the XB one might fit into the EA block? (feel free to correct me boys)
