When Only the best will do eh Matt, lol.
Hopefully we wont end up seeing the phoon motor in the EF, be a shame when the ute has come along way.
Just out of curiosity, is it pretty straight forward with the speed into the ute? |

nah the EF is has turbo-certs, so thats road legal as is... and staying that way
plus the ute weighs 1465kg (stock) .. but im stripped a heap of weight out of it.. so its gonna be much lighter 
"pretty straight forward with the 6 speed(?) into the ute?"
just cut floor, custom crossmember, modify tailshaft |

Ahh, kiwi's aye. if you wanna find the most radical of engine transplant, you find it at land of the long white cloud. when I use to stay there, I've seen a high rise tunnel ram Chev 454 powered Vauxhall Viva. tubbed & anchored down on custom tubular chassis, a 302 mini copper, a 350 chev 1969 toyota corona. you name it.
a matter of fact, I use to own a metallic blue 400 Cleveland powered 1968 toyota toyota crown deluxe. went through 3 toyota diffs when I owned it lol
The law is probably more strict now but man, those kiwis made everything fit. lol |

| Hey matt, do you know for certain that the MoTec will suit the Ford DVCT? Just about every (decent priced) ECU manufacturer i have called bar MoTec (because i'm poor) has told me that their ECU's aren't programed to run the VCT actuator solenoids. |

its a $300 'upgrade' to get the DVCT function enabled.
this one has:
- advanced functions enabled (launch control, traction control, and all other stuff)
- 5 bar map sensor
- sensor plug kit
- air temp sensor plug kit
- 34 pin 26 pin gold box
etc
and more importantly, now i can run my BA/F dash cluster  |
a BA/BF ECU run a BA/BF cluster, and i think its easier to get running than a motec |

it bolted STRAIGHT IN
i used the XG brackets and mounts. fitted perfectly
bonnet clearance / fouling (the XB GT bonnet bulge will fix that)
firewall clearance
plenty of room for a big radiator and thermos

Would cutting out the bracing on the bonnet give you much more clearance? It looks like it's a pretty big lump.
Also WTF is that...thing...on the oil filter? Is that a water fed oil cooler? |

yep it sure is. good way to keep the oil cool
yeh removing the bracing would probably have the engine just touching (or missing) the top part of the bonnet.
but under load it would hit.
so the XB GT bonnet grafted on will work |

| Is it stock!? I never knew they had them! You learn something new every day. Where is the water fed from and where does it drain to? |

as you can see, the XB GT bonnet has a sizeable bulge
this should be suffice to clear the motor

ok i got busy last night.
started to remove the interior. also removed the engine looms (to modify) and the main body loom was removed.
also ive been testing the different paths i can use for the belt. unsure which is the best route.
since the crankshaft and waterpump need the most belt coverage, and the power steering needs the least
