eckk 0 Posted October 17, 2015 I am finding it difficult to find , 4.0l engine at a reasonable price for my xh ute, in perth. Usually engines from other models are easily installed. Which models ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Menice 331 Posted October 17, 2015 El/ef will go straight in with your bolt on's, can even go au with a mod to the sump and some other small changes Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk 1 eckk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gromet88 3,042 Posted October 17, 2015 All EF onwards will fit, just the further up you go, more work you have to put into with wiring, dash, and engine mounts. Safe to stay with EF/EL if you just want to slam it in and get back on the road quicker. Most people go AU with EF/EL/XH as they dont need much to modify, compared to a BA engine 1 eckk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ants 6,370 Posted October 17, 2015 Au engine requires sump/k frame to be modified whereas ef el bolt straight in. 2 Outback Jack and eckk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wagoon 2,429 Posted October 18, 2015 Since you have an XH you will have the a dizzy on your engine, if you install an EF engine it will have coil packs which will need to be sorted. EL engine comes with the dizzy. 1 eckk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHESTNUTXE 7,261 Posted July 19, 2016 Will a bf,fg engine bolt into a xg ute ?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Menice 331 Posted July 19, 2016 same principle as au motor, except fg run a rear pan sump so you'd need to change to a ba/bf sump and oil pickup also move dipstick which most fg have the spot for its just got a rivet insert to remove... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHESTNUTXE 7,261 Posted July 23, 2016 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. 1 Bluedog reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Campo 869 Posted July 26, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHESTNUTXE 7,261 Posted July 26, 2016 Xg has the same frame as xf,but different swaybar to fit the 4.0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
