    Swapping 4l into xf

    It's xg, I've swapped a different 250 into it before. I'm going to swap the diff and exhaust too and already have a radiator all set up for it. I'll keep you guys posted and I'll definitely be asking more questions

    Swapping 4l into xf

    Just got back from picking her up we had to bend her back into shape so she'd drive. it keeps telling me the photos won't load but my internet's been dodgy for a couple days so we'll see if it works.

    Swapping 4l into xf

    I hit a roo in my pano this morning and wrote it off but the motors still in perfect condition and has a few mods done to it so it'd be a good candidate for my xf. What will I have to do to be able to swap it?

    Side exhaust legalities

    Okay this is a little outlandish but I've grown up on 70s and 80s american movies and alot of these involves muscle cars with jacked up rear ends and huge fuck off exhausts and I quite enjoy that style (don't shoot me haha) and i was thinking of chucking side exit exhuasts on melba toast (my xf ute) and was thinking what's the legality of it all because i know they're legal to an extent in nsw but no website will tell me the specifications to have this all legal. And is it really worth it to look like a million bucks. Now I'll be doing this in conjuncture with engine mods so I'm not a complete p plater wanker. Also should I revamp the whole system like should I put glass packs in. I've already got headers sitting in me shed which is a must have if i do say so myself so if I were to do this are glass packs the go and what ever stuff can I do to the system. Also can I get a rear lift for my old leaf springs and how impacted will my handling be? Also the attachment below is the side pips I have in mind Thanks again and I hope everyone is doing well

    Xf centre console swap

    She's a column manual so I'm not too worried about the hole. I'm abit tired and all so do you mean the actual hump for the transmission or something else. Sorry once again. I was thinking just cluster swap with all the gauges and that. She also doesn't have a tacho or any fancy things like that so is it going to be difficult to wire them in mainly the tacho, she's got a speedo, engine temp, fuel gauge and that's it

    Xf centre console swap

    Hey guys I'm in the middle of converting melba from a bench seat to buckets and I'm thinking about placing a centre console in her. Is there a big difference between manual and auto consoles and will I be able to just put it in without cutting stuff up. Also how difficult is it to replace the dash with a fairlane digital dash? Once again thank you guys with helping me with my last post
