I am getting pretty confident on this now. I’ll find out for sure and let you know. Malwood and CRS will know for sure, but I think we have solved it Interested to see what people did with the clutch pedal. This one got me by surprise.

Have not read about this anywhere… the CRS one is hydraulic, however the 6cyl (for 6cyl 250 etc ) bell housing for T5 they had cast for either cable or hydraulic(fits XA hydraulic to XF cable for eg) they have different pedals/pedal boxes. if that's what's meant. i don't think there's a cable option for the V8 unless they've changed the casting. I haven't kept up with the new owners of CRS, but seeing XD/XE are extinct basically, they may have accommodated for XF/XG by now or have a solution.. especially seeing the barra uses hydraulic i think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jca25 1,034 Posted October 29, 2021 This is said fork they say to use with that bellhousing, now don't the Cleveland and Windsor use the same engine mounts?? So that would make the Windsor sit in the bay as the Cleveland, the crossflow the engine plates to the x member is different so not sure were u are going with measuring it, if need be may need to make ur own up to suit Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk 1 fotz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BGDAV 1,872 Posted November 8, 2021 when i contacted them about mine, they said i installed the spigot wrong (i didnt), then they basically get fucked, it wasnt their business to fix their fuck up that cost me 3k, new gearbox rebuild after 600km, and redrill of a bellhousing due to poor machining - so i just tell everyone - cost them more then 3k in lost sales 1 jca25 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my SM-N981B using Tapatalk HI, just wondering what they did for the wiring ? is it using the factory computer/ loom ? im not putting my 5.0l in a X series but something alot earlier, im planning to reuse the complete NL fairlane loom but have heard will need to defeat the smart lock crap ? i see yours is the earlier motor so might be different again ?

No smart lock but they did fit a new alarm demobiliser Sent from my SM-N981B using Tapatalk I am getting my harness modified. I retrieved a harness and ECU from the AU XR8. As it has smartlock, I will be using a J3 Chip from TI performance. The rodshop have currently got my harness and are modifying it, and will provide step by step instructions on how to install it to the XF. Below are some links for your reference: https://www.rodshop.com.au/wiring-harness-conversion-for-ford-au-v8-engines (I know they are flat out at the moment). I think they have taken wiring looms down from the shop for the time being. https://www.tiperformance.com.au/products/j3-chips-tuning/ - J3 Chip 1 deankxf reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fotz 20 Posted November 15, 2021 Hey @ashXFute - I sent you a PM. Was wondering what you did for headers? I have GTP40P heads, EB would have GT40 heads. So keen to see what you did there. I got my hands on AU XR8 headers. To be honest, not sure if they are going to fit.... But curious to see what you did, or if you had to customise them?

fotz 20 Posted November 21, 2021 Hey guys - got myself a world class e series t5 box today - 3.25 1st gear ratio waiting on a response from CRS still. Chased them up yesterday. Any ideas on where’s the best place to track clutch, flywheel and sandwich plate? Was thinking malwood could do the lot - including clutch pedal. Lastly - as I have an ef diff, does anyone know which tailshaft will fit the xf. Are all steel tailshafts from e series the same length - auto/manual also wagon/sedan and Ute -XG/XH? 1 gerg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are all steel tailshafts from e series the same length - auto/manual also wagon/sedan and Ute -XG/XH? i can only answer the tail shaft confidently. for the EF diff flange, you'll need an EB to EL FALCON sedan shaft (not fairlane/ltd) auto and manual are the same (some manuals had a big balance weight lump of steel on the gearbox end but it's not seemingly to be a standard thing and definitely not needed) .. so in short EB to EL FALCON Sedan tailshaft ***note for the rest of the tailshafts late XF(1991 ish) ute and XH XH are longer, same length as fairlane, LTD and wagons. so not suitable for sedan (XA- EL) 1 fotz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
