FYI the BA BBM doesnt fit under an EA-ED bonnet.

Well you cant fit a 3 inch pipe on top of the rocker cover to go to the throttle body.

Its something I hadnt tried until tonight, I was planning on fitting the stock BBM and make the car run NA while I got it all sorted.

I still will but with the aftermarket plenum which I imagine will suck for low end torque.

About 8 years ago when i worked in a wreckers i ended up putting an ef intake on a ea motor. I used the standard computer but ran a simple taco shift light kit from j-car(aprox $50)to activatr the vacume valve for the intake. They are set to 3800rpm at factory but i tuned mine to 3720rpm to get the best responce. The only otherthing you have to keep/ change is the idle by-pass or was it the tps, the value is a little different. I use to flog vr ss's with just the usual mods. icon_smile.gif

Hey 09RQR I recently did an AU1 into an EF falcon. Below is my response to what I did different:


ef thermo housing - I used the AU housing and simply added the sensor wire for the back of the head.

ef aircon compressor and spacers - Spacers need to be cut down as the AU has large spacers on the block. I was not ablt to make the spacers at the time so I used some M12 nuts. 2 between the block and compressor and one on the other side. Used EF bolts as well.

ef intake and harness - I onlu used the top half of manifold with EF harness.

au plug and wire for the knock sensor - I simply unscrewed the AU sensor stud from the block and used the EF sensor that screws into the block.

AU Fan Belt - I used the EF Belt.

I did not swear much either. It just goes straight in.

I'm doing this conversion right now.
what's the sensor under the timing cover - below the crank angle sensor on au ?

Smee, I believe that sensor is the AU version of the crank sensor (like ef under manifold). Just leave it.

Gday guys icon_smile.gif hoping someone can answer my questions on this thread.

I have a xg ute that I need a replacement motor and auto for, and was wondering what motors I can drop straight in with little to no fuss? I am a bit confused with all the e series models.
Also what sort of price for a motor and auto fitted, would I be looking at ?

Cheers

Just to add to this I am looking at fitting an AU motor into an XG but am a little confused as to if it is a straight fit or not?

would there be much hassle involved if i wanted to put a BA engine & dash (ie. ecu & electronics) into my NC2 sportsman fairlane?

would the sump and bonnet be the only real issues?

I was originally just really keen on having the BA interior in my lane, then I stumbled across this post..
