Thom 6,654 Posted September 29, 2013 xp-xf 6 cyl are the same as each other, ohc from ea to El are the same Au to bf (unsure of fg) 6 cyl are the same (ea bf are interchangeable but the supports at the bottom of the bellhousing don't line up as Au on used a cast aluminum sump instead) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAWDEAL 222 Posted October 7, 2013 xp-xf 6 cyl are the same as each other, ohc from ea to El are the same Au to bf (unsure of fg) 6 cyl are the same (ea bf are interchangeable but the supports at the bottom of the bellhousing don't line up as Au on used a cast aluminum sump instead) So basically OHV xp-xf Are the same, and the same as SBF? OHC Ea-El are the same pretty much 100% OHC/DOHC Au-BF Are the same OHC/DOHC Ea to BF are the same except those alloy gusset things that they use dont line up? What about 250xflow to Ea OHC?

Thom 6,654 Posted November 4, 2013 The gearboxes that come behind a 4.0l are well up to the task of handling a hot 4.0l what gear box did you want to put behind one? 1 78xcgxl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thom 6,654 Posted November 10, 2013 Starter clearance is probably your main issue even if the bolt holes line uo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thom 6,654 Posted November 24, 2013 using a 6 cyl bell housing on a v8 wouldn't work as the starter would be positioned behind the cyl head and they are an entirely different bolt pattern Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAWDEAL 222 Posted December 3, 2013 using a 6 cyl bell housing on a v8 wouldn't work as the starter would be positioned behind the cyl head and they are an entirely different bolt pattern Yeah its a bit annoying lol If the bolt pattern was the same as say SBF or something more common i could more than likely order a Quicktime bellhousing with the starter in a different spot It being it has its on unique pattern makes things annoying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
