Xf-Farimont-Ghia-85

Hi and welcome. 
 
1. Injectors - I am running ones from a 4L EB I think. I was able to bring them in from the USA brand new. A lot of USA Fords use similar if not the same parts. Injectors was one of them, and so I found them brand spanking new. 
However you can get yours renewed easily enough. 
 
2. I dont have much to say about. thats a @SPArKy_Dave question. be warned though, he will drag you in for hours  
 
3. Manual conversion. 
I did this on my XF Ghia wagon. I suggest using an early T5, and make sure its a T5 and not a single rail 5 speed. (T5 reverse is below 5th, SR 5 speed, reverse is left of 1st) 
As mentioned above, the early T5s have shorter 1st gear, so if you are like me and keep the original 2.77LSD diff like i did, the shorter 1st gear is perfect, so you wont be labouring or riding the clutch too much. I now run a 2.92 diff, factory manual ratio which i like. if you want it to go quicker, 3.23 or 3.45 is the way to go, which come out of E series XRs. BUT, if you do that, it would be a good idea to match the T5, so a later T5 (longer 1st and 5th) with a shorter diff, or early T5 (shorter 1st and 5th) with a longer diff. any combination will work though. 
Manual pedal box, you MUST strengthen them around the clutch pin, because they crack and break the pin out of them. 
The firewall, around the clutch cable hole, also will crack. I have only ever run standard duty clutches, but after 18 months with the T5 in my XF, sure enough the firewall cracked. again worth plating it before its too late. 

Ok, thankyou everyone, I'll look into those options and let you know how I went, I'm thinking about just restoring the auto first and get it driving and possibly do the 5 speed later.
Thanks guys

@Panko for the manual conversion and @SPArKy_Dave for air con 
 
 
manual conversion these days.. in my opinion.. LEAVE IT AUTO. cheaper, easier  already works..
manual conversion if you must.. i'd personally buy a manual parts car to wreck (1986-1992 XF to wreck) (can be from an XF ute, just use your tailshaft) 
 
 
gearbox wise you'll ideally need an XF everything to convert it(you can hobble together the bits, but it would be painful these days) 
the better gearbox is from EB to EL falcon(world class version, stronger, and has syncro on reverse)
 
if you are hobbling the conversion together from bits and pieces, 
you can get a clutch pedal pin kit from Mal Wood in Qld, (bolts to the auto pedal box) (can cut the brake pedal down in car if you are careful)
not sure if the later clutch pedals are same(EB to EL.. possibly are, but the pedal box is different)
auto tailshaft will work on the manual, 
you'll need a crossflow specific bell housing (cast iron) for the T5, i saw one on facebook marketplace the other day with a gearbox for $300 odd (victoria)
flywheel you can use the later ones from even E series i think, but may need to drill the holes sligtly bigger for the older bolt size a 84DA block should have 
 

Hi guys I am building an XF Fairmont Ghia auto for my first car, I was wondering if any of you could answer a few questions that I have.
1.
I only have 3 Injectors that I've managed to get flowing. Should I replace them or retrofit something else, like AU or EL series, would this make a difference? If so, what would be the best to use? (standard ECU).
2.
The Aircon Compressor is cactus. what can be retrofitted to also run the later model R134A gas. 
3. 
I would also like to swap out the auto for a 5 speed. I've read about the Borg Warner T5, and that the bell housings are different throughout the models. what model would be best and what model bell housings fit straight on? If I put the 5 speed in, can you still run standard ECU?
 
Thankyou in advance, only new to this forum.
