G'day
This has probably been covered before but i am wondering if it is possible to put an au2 motor into an xf.
What are the clearances like in the engine bay.
Cheers |

| engine mounts are the same up to ED. the mounting plates on the chassie need to be changed to the XG ones.like you would when you change from a 6 to a 8 in a X series |

| you would most likely have to go to an aftermarket ECU, so if you can get the BCM (or is it BEM - i forget) and the rest of the dash wiring i suggest you do, even then your gonna have troubles with the ignition lock, you should be able to run the au motor (with a coupla changes) with an EB (pre smatlock one) computer. (without the broadband manifold) |

If you use a series 1 au vct motor and computer with smartlock (ive got one for sale  )
you can buy a module from petroject that disables the smartlock and allows you to obsolete the BEM |
