Hello Mr.Bear351,Yes I'm starting to lean that way.Don't want a Massive Pain Ordeal Mixing & Matching Parts & Bolts & Nuts That First Should/Might Go Together But They Never Will.I Never Thought Of That Coz I Just Assume That Most Of Those Things Would Be Exactly The Same To Make It $Cheaper & Easier For FORD Themselves,But As You Get More Experience With Anything You Have To Throw A Lot Out The Window And Start Again,You Like Playing Monoploy,"Go Back To Jail-Do Not Pass Go!" Thanks For Saveing Me Getting A Brain Tumour!,Searley.

Hello Mr.Polson,Searley here again.Before I take my El 1999 XH Ford Head to a shop to get Crack/Pressure Tested & Shaved There's a Guy that has an AU Motor 200,000Kms with a Jim Mock Head Kit Dev3,meaning Double valve springs & Hi-Lift Cam,Variable valve timeing.Can this AU Head be Fitted Ok to my existing enginge?If so do I use my existing fuel injection system or keep with the already attached System.I can see from the photos it has different type of manifold? What about Fords Multi-Coil Ignition system.Can that be adapted? Anyway Send me some of your Wisdom & Knowledge.Much Appreciated,Searley.

Hi deankdx,Thanks For Your Time And Advice,@ Least I'm On The Right Track Now,Best Regards Searley.

Greetings Mr.ValveBouncer,Thanks For The Experienced Knowledge.If The Block Has To Be Machined I Assume That The Motor Has To Come Out.Funny Thing I Took The Head To Be Tested And Shaved To Places That Have The Equipment And Used To Do Them But They Don't Do That Work Anymore Because It's Not As $Profitable. When I Took Off The Rocker Cover All The Heads Were On The Bolt But The Last 2 Bolts At The Rear Of Motor Were Incredibly Tight/Hard To Undo.Anyway I'll Take The Head To A Proper A Head Place Get It Tested & Shaved And The Block As Well,Permaseal AU Gasket,Permaseal Head Bolts & Hylomar,etc.Once Again I Appreciate Your Input.It's Nice To Have Success When Fixing Stuff.Best Regards Searley.

Hi Mr.Polson,Thank You For Clarifying The Answer Picture,Why Do You Say The X-Flow Would'nt Be Legal Due To Emissions?I'd Still Use A Catalytic Converter. Still It Would Have To Be Legal Due To Insurance Reasons.If I Had A Prang With A $Hi-Dollar Car The Insurance Companies Will Do Anything To Get Out Of Paying!Anyway Thanks.

Hello,Does Anyone Know What's Involved In Converting A 200 X-Flow To Cast Iron Head(ie It Used To Be An Allow Head,To Be Converted/Marinized) I Heard It Can Be Done But There's A Few Things That Need To Be Done.What About Upgradeing The Distributor/Ignition System.
