A few years back bloke I know ripped the 6cyl out his jag installed a 454 chev with some goodies. Left it registered as a 6cyl cheaper rego didnt bother with a mod plate. Went tear assing around town doing donuts an the usual stuff. Next thing he gets a letter from the motor transport mob to take his car in for a pit inspection. He was a little concerned but decided to wing it. So in he goes with the car the guys do a brake test and had a general look around the car. Never even noticed a 454 under the bonnet! Still registered as a 6cyl far as I know. He was a smug bastard after getting away with that.

Yeah I would definitely start with the 460 no good stuffing around its obvious you need some real power. Put a stroker kit in the 460 try to get close to 600 cubes with over boring and stroking. Then top it of with a good super charger. If you still need more power go methanol should be good for over 1000hp. Looking forward to seeing the build.

If you need another set of arms ebay.
-
I have a bell housing for the "big block" ford 6 as used in the 60s Dont have the engine though its sitting back in LA.
-
Those arms look the same as on the earlier mustangs and falcons with the steel worm style bushes. You need the rubber bushes right? I seen arms for your car a few weeks back for $80 on ebay the seller had a number of them second hand. Just replaced the bushes in XB lower control arms those are flimsy also need to brace the arms and be careful its totally doable.

Didn't end up buying the gearbox someone beat me to. Got to be quick around here!
-
Its about 20 minutes drive from my place in Townsville. Really the gearbox is the part that interested me but if its weaker then the EB I dont want to put it behind a 393W
-
I haven't checked lately thought I paid about $600 8yrs ago. Bought the mustang 15yr ago added improvements along the way but its done now.
-
When I done it on the mustang it had the 3sp toploader so just needed to get the bell housing and hydraulic clutch think it ran me about $800. Then the engineers report but I "saved" all the modification up got it all done in one hit so not sure on the cost.
-
The guy wants $100 for the lot dunno if I should grab it or not?
-
This is the setup looks like the cross member is there.
-
Yeah the shaft length is different I have the 6cyl box in the mustang because the shifter comes up through the original hole in the tunnel. Just had to do a slight clearance. But those gearboxes fit in the yank stangs very easily.
-
Bell housing is with the box far as I know but would be useless to me anyway.
-
Ok thanks for that I really like the EB box in the mustang from memory used a castlemaine rod shop bell housing. Designed a remote reservoir clutch system to make it all work along with a cross member. I will pass on it then but if anyone wants a XF manual conversion this is a complete setup minus the clutch cable going cheap.

Guys I have found a cheap XF T5 looks like some other gear with it also. Are these the same as EB T5s in physical dimensions? Not concerned about gearing just want this box for a spare to replace the EB box in my mustang if I ever blow it. Cheers
