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.

WOW, they've come down in price since the last windsor I did, was EF XR8 into XP ute about.............4 years ago

Its just the ignition barrel that has a little PCB inside it that talks tp smartlock, my first car a I had I put an EL (XH) XR6 running gear in and used the ford barrel etc, negating the need for the smartlock bypass, but from there on in I bypassed, simplifying the loom greatly, with a much better result in regards to asthetics and fault finding

Hey buddy,
I've actually just ordered one. How simple are they to hook up ? Is it a matter of just power (only when cranking?) earth, and the other wire to the correct ECU pin ? So then I can throw alot of the wires and BEM away ! ?
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

Yep, piff everything except motor harness, The driver's side oxy sensor runs through the dash harness, but just make a new loom to it, its only 3 wires

Thanks buddy.
I've got a smartlock bypass on the way. Had a bit of look at the loom today, spread it all out everywhere. Do I need any of the transmission wires ? The 2 plugs that go down to the tranny, Can I turf the TCM ? What did you do to trick the ECU that it was in neutral in your conversions ?
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 sender

Neutral safety switch is via the starting cct, so not an issue

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

thanx.
would you have any pics of the modified engine mounts? and can i use the stock 5 speed man with this convertion?
