4 Litre into XD-XF, Which one? Why?

[PH351 314]

I just re read your fist post, personally if I was building a turbo engine I would go Au, at least later if you get serious you can use aftermarket crank/rods/pistons to suit a barra engine without serious machine work to fit

I figured that might be the go when suggested to go the EF head for more comp. I was going to ask today. Just read your other 4.0 thread too, subscribed.

Is there any clearance problems with an AU alloy sump in an X series?

I was looking at running a C4 behind mine for two reasons, no computer ( going aussiespeed manifold and carb on engine) and well, I got one sitting in the garage.

Is there any problems with mating a C4 up behind a AU 4.0l?

You need to space your sway bar down to clear an Au sump, also an xg one is preferred as they don't have to be spaced down

Im thinking of looking for a donor car for my FE as soon as my wagon moves on. I want to run power steer and air on. Can I use the complete AU motor with bolt ons (a/c, pwr str, alt) as is or do I have to mix and match. Can they be set up for a dizzy? If I happened to score one with a T5 and I run straight gas do I need the computer? I want to buy as much as possible before hand before I pull mine apart.

to run the serpentine belt you will want an xh air con bracket and a little grinding on the tensioner, use the rest of the au setup, e series alternator doesn't fit 99 and newer engines, dizzy drop straight in, an au t5 has the shifter housing 35mm further back than earlier t5's, ea t5 mounts works with e series t5's, you could use a tfi dizzy and an msd as a few have run in xflow's or modify a xe dizzy to fit the 4.0 to ditch the ecu if running straight lpg

sorry to relive a old post.
but also if your using the aussiespeed carby manifold. keep in mind if you want to use xd-xe-xf distributer you will run into clearance issues with the manifold and distributor. so you willl have to use a aussiespeed dizzy.

this is if you want to run a old style dizzy like a xe dizzy  and run a centrepoint manifold or log manifold, bbm manifold with a gas ring and plug up the fuel injector holes.

but make sure you get the bottom lip of your dizzy machined. and put a 4.0l cog on it upside down in the right place. i ended up sending my dizzy. into ignition torque bayswater the dude there knows what his doing with the dizzys. if you do it wrong you will end up with a heap of metal filings in your oil.  then  make your own bracket to hold the dizzy in place aswell


hope i make sense. my eyesights a bit blurry atm.
