never heard of ultra king.. noted.. shit = dont buy

see that riveted ring gear..(pic below) i've heard a car with them so loose the rattle would make you swear the flywheel was going to fall off.. was one of the first things i sold when i started selling Xseries parts back when i wrecked one for parts for the daily

it's postable.. they send pallets over the ditch even

i don't know much about post XF really.. but @Thom may know what you need. i thought the BA sump was still front bowl, so an AU sump should drop in. i also believe the crank and bell housing bolt patterns etc are same.. but should check to be sure. so in that sense, it all should "just bolt in" (bolt in kits rarely just bolt in though, so you'd expect something to be annoying)

@CHESTNUTXE will have a 3.45 gear surplus soon (if its for a borgwarner gearbox?)

would have thought it would bolt straight in.. whats ACT?

as far as i'm aware the XH(same as EF EL style) uses the ECU for info, it's not going to work with basic wiring. i don't have any of the info at hand anymore, if it's not here in this thread, go searching on fordmods.com for same info if that forum even still exists? @Thom might have half a clue on how it might be possible, but i haven't seen it before working(if i was to do it, i'd consider fitting 100% XH wiring and everything, but i wouldn't even consider it due to being a massive task that has too many electrical issue potential)

learning stuff all the time. COOL(or warm, with heater turned on)

would be handy to use as another purpose, alarm, thermo fan override, etc

wonder if that's aftermarket, someone's bodged one on from something else. haven't seen anything like that before, but haven't really worked on PRE XA though

if it was near the drivers headlight, then it would be the driving light/fog light wire i think also. can't remember any other wires that were round like that. other than the temp sender and maybe the choke wire on the XE(not applicable to XD)

done it before

if you wanted to keep your current tailshaft you'll need a hybrid yoke as the E series(flat flange yoke) is 1310 and the X series is smaller(not sure what it is) otherwise, just get an EB ED ED EL SEDAN tailshaft and it will go straight in to XA to XF sedan

i'm fairly sure they cut out from the inside with a thin sharp knife.. doubt the hammer is the answer
