Thanks @deankdx Keen to know what the fuel lines are for the EL-AU falcon. Ideally I should be aiming for the same. Anyone know this? I believe XF main line is 5/16" and Return line is much smaller, - maybe 1\4" and the breather would be 1\8" I think 3\4 would be better...

Thanks @deankdx - your a legend mate. So useful Ive just tracked down an EFI tank, and I have got the pump as well Looks like the much cleaner option. Should i upgrade the pump for the AU, while its out, if so what do you guys recommend as easy replacement? For the fuel lines I was thinking of using the existing feed line pipe as the return, and creating a new feed line. Not sure exactly what size, and also what's the best product to use yet.

Thanks @deankdx Its an XF Spack. Does this mean I can just use the carby tank - and just use an EFI pump with cradle? Or are you saying the tank is just bigger in capacity and thats it? I an trying to source an EFI tank. I think I have found one. It comes with the cradle, but its missing the sender. Apparently these are hard to come by. Any ideas around this or alternatives? I am looking at changing the gauges anyway, to saas gauges, I was thinking I could fit an saas sender to the cradle?

Hi all, was having a look at my fuel tank today and I am a little confused... To be honest, first time mucking around with this. The tank looks very similar to EFI. Does anyone know the differences? Could I not just get an EFI fuel pump and cradle from another XF or wont it fit? Or can I modify the existing one and turn it into an electic pump? Is it already an electric pump? Note, this is a XF 87 falcon. Assume this is not an electric pump, and the wiring is just for the sender?

For the ECU - what have most people done. Have they stuck with the standard ECU from the E-series or AU - or has anyone moved to a Holley\Halltech. Keen to see some good real life examples and what has worked best

Thanks for that mate. Didn’t realise the t5 from au wouldn’t fit. The e series t5 are hard to find Alright Does anyone know if those pacemakers will fit, if not what other options are there. I have heard of some issues with the starter.

Thanks guys for all the suggestions. I’ll try source a fuel tank and upgrade the fuel pump and fuel lines based on your suggestions. Thermos shouldn’t be a problem - there are heaps of options available With the heads, how do I know if they are gt40 or gt40p heads. I thought all AU’s - including fairlaine all had gt40p heads? thanks

Hi I currently have an XF S-PAck and we all know the dash is ugly. I am in the process of switching over the top of the dash to an XD dash, howevee the dash housing and wiring will be the original XF. For the instrument cluster, I am using the sports XD cluster - but taking all the tacos out, - speedo, taco, oil, water, volts and fuel. Pretty much something like the ones below. 1) Where can I get my hands on a wiring diagram for the instrument clsuter on a xf 2) will all the wires in the XF just plug straight into these, or will I need to run new wires and sensors? 3) Also hoping stuff like park break, hibeam, indicators etc will all still work? The top one, looks so much neater, I am a fan of this one.

Yeah this is going to be good fun.. haha also need to make sure I get the right gauges as well.. I think this will play a big role. I am hoping with the lamps, its just as simple as wiring in a globe holder with a globe? Hopefully the cluster isnt doing anything fancy to control the amps \ voltage to each of these items.

I also found this - it looks more promising https://www.fordforums.com/threads/xf-falcon-electronic-dash-test.309481/

http://www.ozfalcon.com.au/index.php?/topic/8529-xf-ford-wiring-diagrams/ I found this, but I cant really see any wiring diagram that explains what each wire does that plugs into the xf cluster...

Thinking something like these
-
i reached out... they replied very quickly. They wont produce for XD... You would think XD would be easier to be honest. XE has more edges. Ah well.
-
XE tail lights you can get from here. I am trying to find out who manufactures these, as if they still make them, I dont see why they couldnt make an XD tail light. I will let you know what they come back with. I think this is a fair price as well. https://www.kingswoodcountry.com.au/buy/ford-tail-light-pair-left-right-xe-falcon-sedan-br/kFXE8000NTL-R

haha - with limited stocks avaialble - we are forced to make do with what we got...
-
I guess this is the opposite right? Tweaker is an XD with an XF back. I can see the back has been cut away to fit the lights. XF to XD Tweaker: - XD to XF
-
Yeah thats ridiculous... second hand are a mess.

Thanks so much for this. Wow a lot of hacking. I wonder if this will impact the structural integrity of the car snipping it up like that.... good point about the door moulds. But I wont have any moulds on the doors.
