Hi Mate,
No didn't get the box off JC.
Havn't fully decided what to do with the smart lock. I may end up using it, as I still have the complete loom with steering column and keys, not sure yet.
That or I was looking at the bypass module you can get off ebay for $80.
Cheers,
Shayne
WOW, they've come down in price since the last windsor I did:eek:, was EF XR8 into XP ute about.............4 years ago:DQuote:

Sounds like you've done a few of these conversions! Well done!
I'm hoping to sort out a few wiring issues over the coming weekends.
Cheers,
Shayne.
Pretty much, Ign, earth and pin, ummm, 6 if I remember, I can check for you, but the info will come with the box:)Quote:

Did you have any issues with the speed sensor ?
Can you remember what wires need to go INTO in ECU, just a case of power & earth ?
Cheers mate.

I gutted all the Tx wires back to the ECU, the only 4x4 I did was my own (all the rest were cars useing ford Trans) and never ran a speed sensor, BUT apparently they have a torque limiting effect so would try one this time, but mine ran find without it, unlike Holden that craks the poo's without the senderQuote:

Can't remember exact combo, but in effect like all EFI systems, there will be +12v, various ign, some earths and I THINk that the 5.0 has a crank signal, but couldn't tell you exactly without checking up on the diagrams
hey everyone,new to this forum but allready found people i can relate to i`ve been looking for a v8 conversion for my 93 rissignol 3.5 v8 disco but have been told at every turn the running gear can`t take extra hp. then i found a place in Vic that does kits for chev v8 &v6 kits but not a great fan of gmh.So to read that a few of you guys have put the good old blue oval muscle into you rides makes me happy.so my question is can you please give me any and/or all info reguarding this topic.is there a kit to buy?how much modification is involved? i would greatly appreciate any info...thanx
G'day mate,
Nothing off the shelf for the ford stuff that I found. Only **cough** GMH **cough** adaptors......
But when you have access to someone who has a metal lathe and can weld Aluminium, possibilties are endless :D
thanx.
would you have any pics of the modified engine mounts? and can i use the stock 5 speed man with this convertion?
I havn't actually made the engine mounts yet, hopefully in 2-3 weeks should have it sitting in the bay, just have to finish another project that has come my way.......:(
You can use what ever transmission you want if you're making your own adaptor. I went down the LT95 route as they are a stronger box than the 5 speeds, and because it's the 1:1 transfer I don't loose any top end on the hwy, and still have a lower low gear for rock going.
