I have a disc brake LSD diff that came out of an XE V8 panel van sitting in the back of my container. I'll have to drag it out and see what it has.

This is the diff I swapped out of the XH panelvan into my XF, and it has the drain hole.

I had one in my ute. I just stuck the aerial under the dash pad. Always worked perfectly fine, in fact it was always 100% accurate. But I swapped it out for a hard wired unit for engineering as the GPS unit wasn't legal.

I have the adapter to mate the metric to the imperial.

My manual got soaked in all the rain when we lost a corner of the shed. I haven't gotten around to getting a new one yet. But I can film the process when I do it. I have a few week off over Christmas when I will tackle it, and swapping the diffs.

Thanks man, that's excellent news.

So, do XH door windows fit into an XF? Mine are a bit crap, but the XH parts vans are pretty decent looking.

Mate, thank you so much for that. It is in and it fired straight up! I really appreciate it. Electronics just does my head in.

This is what is under the cover. So do I remove the module, hook the beige and green wires to the red and black (and in what order), and then hook the red and black to the green and violet magnetic pick up wires that come out of the MSD box?

So how the hell do I hook this up to the MSD box? I have worked out the main power and earth to the battery, the 12V ignition power and tacho wires, and the wires to the coil. But no idea how the distributor hooks in.

First of all. Fuck I hate electrics and wiring. I don't understand it, and it confuses and frustrates me. I have the MSD Streetfire setup. I figured I would hook it up for shits and giggles as it will be a few months before I even look like getting started on doing the 302 swap. I have no idea how to hook it up. I don't seem to have anything resembling the options in the instructions. I don't have the original EST distributor anymore. I have the earlier XE HEI vacumn advance dizzy,,,,,,,,, I think. This is the guts of it.

I used one of these instead of the rope seal when I built mine. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FELPRO-REAR-MAIN-OIL-SEAL-FORD-WINDSOR-289-302-PREMIUM-HIGH-VACUUM-FE2901/361379952955

I think the bloke I bought it off got ripped bad. I'll have to cut the floor of that fibreglass area out to get to the tank. Guy who originally put that in must have been convinced he would never have to change a fuel pump!

Oh it is rusted out! I'll grab some photos tomorrow. So I paid $600 for it. I'm happy with that for the diff, fuel tank etc. that I can use. I'll sell off the bits that are usable and then scrap the shell. Guy I bought it off, paid $2999 for it last September!
