Correct me if im wrong but thats how the bar mounts isnt it? I looked at doing that to mine a while back and ended up cutting off the tow hitch instead.

Those maxxis' that were linked previously aren't too bad of a tyre.

I assume the fuel rail on the AU BBM is different to that of the BA FAlcon?

They are yes. You might be able to get it to bolt up but the injectors are different so youd have to use whichever injectors suit the rail.

I'd go superpro poly in everything haha. Worth putting up with the minor increase in harshness for the far superior handling characteristics. 

Barra is a piece of piss conversion but yeah that one is a bit on the pricy side for the initial buy

Alfa is the go. And one of our fellow forum members works there so even better.

Yep use the ignition setup off your current donk, it'll go straight in. Then burn the coil packs and throw them in the bin, shit things they are!

On the subject of tonneau covers, please complete the following sentence.

Tonneau cover torsion bars are likely to be found at _ _ _ _ _ _  _ _ _

Somewhere that can bend 10mm rod lol

Ahh yep that's right. Just drop it in with no mods then

so what is the mod you need to do to the sump of a ba-bf angine,and k frame to fit in a xg ? i see heaps of them lately in xf's and others.

If xg has the ef/el k frame you'll have to either notch the k frame or cut the front of the sump on a 45.

Yep just don't get the competition ones (paceys) standard pacemakers and genie ones fit better than crossflow ones do haha

I didn't need anything to adapt them on mine

Engine out or k frame out. Both are a shit job haha

I don't think it'd be a problem looking at my mental image of a gasket

Ahhh the thing I hate most about being a signwriter, adhesive removal!

To Make a FG Turbo engine to work in a BA with  minimal fuss, the best way in my option is to do the following.

 

1. Find an early FG engine that has the hole already there for the different dipstick requirement. Saves fucking around drilling shit.

 

2. Remove the FG sump and oil pump pick up off the FG engine and swap with all the stufff you have off the BA engine.

 

3. Remove the FG rocker cover off the FG engine and swap over all the BA rocker cover and coilpacks, along with the looms.

 

4.  Remove the FG intakes and replace with all BA stuff.

 

Doing it this way everything should would as per BA spec, but with a newer and stronger engine.

Stuff that imo! It's way worth the hassle for the fg rocker cover and getting the intake working. The ba manifold is a piece of crap compared to the fg one and if you've got one, it's definitely worth spending the extra hour or so making it work.

Pretty sure they mean turbo fg block to suit the application

I only mentioned this issue cause Gromit asked if NA & turbo motors were the same.

 

I've only owned one, so don't know heaps about them, but logic would say that comp would have to be lower on a turbo engine.

 

This might be achieved by simply fitting a thicker head gasket. I'm not really sure.

 

All the 6cyl lads will know.

Different rod and piston combo as far as I know. Then there's also a few different ones ba/bf/fg

Yup knew they had a bung. Have drilled one with no dramas too though

I'd rather find one with the hole, i don't like my chances of not fucking it up haha cause i'm guaranteed too

Haha true. Was there a year it changed?

Should still have the spot for the hole though afaik. Just need to drill it.

Put the ba sump pickup and dipstick in it. Use same wiring loom just change the plugs for the coils. Anything else that doesn't have the right plugs wiring wise you should be able to take out of the ba block and out in the fg one

Ahh roger, in some engines yeah.

Ba injectors too large?? For the rail maybe but they fit in the manifold if you change the rail.
