    dont do it,i have learnt many times it just dont work well,yeah it has great take off but looses drivabilty after 80kph,you could probly get away with 3.08,but 2.92 would be perfect,thats what i am doing with mine,if you think 2.77 is lame u should try 2.53 its awful but has great hwy manners and economy,3.23 did come out on some xe's but mainly 5 speed cars,or 3 speed manual,just find your self a 2.92 diff or gears and fit it up,but remember you need the 2.92 carrier to retrofit your 2.77 housing the rest is the same.

    Thought you get bored of the 2.53 with Eshays in Kia Rio’s beating you at the lights!

    My ute runs both lpg and petrol but does run better on gas as that what it was set up for. I am up in Brisbane and I went to fill gas tonight at Greenslopes and that servo had the pumps out. Ended up driving over to east Brisbane to fill up which had gas otherwise it would have to drive 15-20 mins again to another servo that has gas.
    Be lucky any servos in qld or northern nsw have any servos with lpg in 5 years. Reason for retiring the ute shortly for a new car this year.

    Check fuel regulator. Had mine years ago fail and was pumping extra fuel and made it run rich and rough etc. Pulled the Vacuum line off and was damp with petrol and smell. Took fuel reg off and petrol leaked out of the vacuum end of reg.

    Hi Sacko7 welcome to Ozfalcon. You will definitely get your answer here. NA to NC fairlane diff will fit too plus it be most likely LSD with ratio 3.27 just have to use the tailshaft from a eb falcon as it be correct length. Do you know what ratio you looking at or type of driving - cruising or street performance. The only thing at moment I can think of needing swapping is front springs to v8 (rear springs are same between 6 and 8), gearbox cross member, t-bar auto cause linkages are different between 6 and 8, exhaust system and engine mounts of course.

    Thanks guys. There is info on the xf efi but very little on the xe system on the internet. Just looking for the hose set up on the the thermo switches on the Metal H pipe work under manifold that run the heater hoses as well.

    Check the block code under the intake manifold. That tell you what block you actually have incase motor has been swapped out. For a late xf it should be 86DA or 87DA. 83DA block would be rope seal and 84DA be the two piece seal

    Cool good to know. I saw one of their Holden manifolds seems to have the same slope.
     
    Waiting on some parts to arrive, hopefully today. And trying to get the goddamned son of a bitch shitty bloody dipstick tube out of one of the blocks to put into the new one!!!!!

    Take the sump off and use a long 10mm socket over the tube and tap it out gently. That’s what I have done in the past for real stubborn ones so I didn’t bend and break them. Not like the early days that you could whip down to the local wreckers for one anymore

    Wow! I have been guilty of using old ones before in engines for quick turn around and never had a issue. Maybe I been lucky. I always check that the cap is sitting correctly before torque down and tap cap and tap crank back and forth to seat though. As said maybe I am lucky them times.
