Yes I have googled it also, most if the odd codes I think are fleet/ special order

Pretty sure you can't get verification letters at the moment, some corporate bs going on about the records and who are the custodians....

Excellent, thanks for help, hooked up as mentioned and everything now works, can switch hot / cold and change air output from windscreen to face to feet. Another job sorted thanks to forum !

looks incredible !....

Well I bought it 😝
 
Bf XR6 motor with all its bits and the pedal setup, $400.
Still in the car, so I got to hear it run.
I'll come back on Sunday and pull it out. 
 

i'm 100% on board for #barratheworld....😎
 
 
 the initial engine investment is cheap, but you need modified loom, unlocked computer, sway bar, upgrade fuel pump,  depending where you are engineers certificate, etc so factor that into any dollar related rationale....im sure it would still come out cheaper than EFI crossflow rebuild ...
 
the good news is your car being EFI is a big head start ....

if you watch the series the Castlemaine rodshop did on their XF with turbo barra, pretty sure they used a VL commodore radiator to avoid notching the rail, but had to screw around with radiator hoses. 
I used BA stuff on my XE with a scallop taken from the rail...
 
Ants build thread on his (sleeping with the fish's?)  xe ute is a great blueprint/basis to follow, has good clear pics of the scallop/notch he did, along with the fitting the lower tie bar for the BA/BF radiator

Gday, the n/a barra swap is straight forward, i converted my XE sedan in a weekend during 2019 (barra, t5 with au bellhousing, ebay brought pre made 6 wire to hookup loom and unlocked computer)....did have some troubles with the computer settings which were mostly rectified by a mobile tuning guy afterwards (fault on behalf of the original guy who unlocked), still need to get the temp gauge and handbrake working but its great to drive. 
 
  I recently did the AU VCT swap into my xh, and previously done AU VCT into my EF, both again straight forward, aside from the sump mods required, both have J3 tuning chips and are smooth as, but should have just done barra.  the AU VCT engines getting harder to find in good condition and therefore are anywhere from 400-1000...i think my barra conversion owes me 2k all up...

Hey mate.
They used the EB engine harness and ECU and kept the XF dash wiring.
No smart lock but they did fit a new alarm demobiliser

yeah very cool...they have a good following in the states....
if you need any bits, i have 2 x 240's sitting here, that will soon be scraped..one from a D series truck and the other from F100 (im in melb though)
looking forward to the build
cheers

GDay, my XH XR6 is now manual but was auto, it has on tag Trans W = 4sp auto floor shift,

GDay on my AU VCT powered EF, we used an RPM switch and set it at 3000, i think the BBM comes on at 3800, seems to work really well.
cheers

G'Day, just measured some gearboxes i have here
 
EF/EF measures from front of gearbox case to middle of standard shifter level was 550mm, and its 445mm to middle of mount
AU (i think as thats what it was in) measure from front of gearbox case to standard shifter level was 610mm and its 500mm to middle of mount
 
 
I agree with Dean, look for an EF/EL box (perhaps put your AU one up for swaps),
you will still need a custom gearbox mount or if you can find an EA speed gearbox crossmember, last one on ebay was drug money at $200+ bucks....
In my XE (barra,, T5, EL LSD diff) I simply cut the EL T5 member up and welded onto the back of the standard XE gearbox crossmember, it still uses the EL mount that locates into one squre hole, and everything else was bolt up, i used the E series tailshaft as the diff was changed to EL as well.  I even ran the EL fuel lines with an XE EFi tank (with upgraded in tank pump)

Gday, check this thread out for reference, the rear panel needs some trimming to fit the light housings without modding the light housing

the aftermarket XE taillights are Ok quality i have them on my car,... but good second hand ones can still be found in both XD or XE style
 
also consider the exterior door mould if it has any to match up to the xd/xe guards
 

G'Day my 2cents
i did EFi to carb on NC failance windsor for my T-bucket, used aftermarket HEI dizzy (needed bronze dizzy gear from memory), used Torker II intake, holley carb, C10 auto it went really well, T-bucket being light(ish), as im not a tech/wiring guy either,  i reckon it cost my under $1000 at the time with second hand parts except dizzy)
 
i have had a few E series V8's and all went really well, with all factory stuff, agree its only 165KW engine in stock form but you should be able to get it to work at least to original factory specs, espiclaly if its already in the car, with exhaust and all the computer/ wiring/hoses etc done, i wouldnt be swapping from EFi just yet, as as mentioned the cascade effect on having to acquire & swap trans/starter and other related gear
 
Sometimes its best to let the experts at this stuff, work on them and sort out the issues, use your time to make money doing what ever you do best/ skillset is,... then use that money to get expert help (i always hang around so i learn something from the money i spend with them too, so its win/win...car gets fixed and i learn something for next time).
 
I had to do this with my barra powered xe, we mucked around for days trouble shooting some issues, tying stuff, swapping parts all to no avail, rang around, found a tuner and the end it was in the setting in the unlocked computer that needed changing via HP tuners. 
 
do you have pics of the current setup ?

Gday, just wondering if an XG ute canopy will fit XH ? im assuming the plastic trim around the XH rear window may foul ??
and if the XG one wont fit, anyone got a white XH canopy in good condition without roof rack holes ?
cheers
