XH V8 swap wiring

Recommended Posts

I'm in the planning stage of swapping an EF/EL (or the equivalent Fairlane/LTD) 5.0 into my XH. It's a 7/96 XH1 GLi, if that helps.

What I'm after is info on how to hook the V8 engine harness into the original 6cyl body harness. If anyone's done the swap I'd appreciate a step by step for dummies; wiring's far from being my strong suit.

 

Cheers guys.

Pretty sure Ants did this conversion a few years back with an early XH. You'll need the V8 engine loom, trans and engine mounts. Sub frame/K frame is the same as 6 cylinder and dash loom will need to be changed for a late XH as V8's use a seprate computer to control the transmission (thats IF your going auto, wont need to if your going manual)

 

Apart from that it should be a case of plug "n' play.
