302W EFI into Classic Rangie

ha ha ha:), Yeah Frank, I reckon I could do him a favour and swap him the JG33 for the injected 302 ;) :p

There is a pretty big market these days for something like that, you would be surprised at what you could get for it. Someone out there may have a genuine GT (if it wasn't written off) without matching numbers.

Peachy, so right, if it is a 351 Cleveland engine and it's a genuine "T code" with 4V heads then it has to be out of a 1971 XY Falcon GT and they are selling for big bucks, you never know there may be someone out there with the car that that engine came from and I would imagine they would pay a fortune for it.
It would be a hopeless off-road motor, with those enormous 4V ports you would be blowing clutches all the time trying to get it off the mark, just no go below 2000rpm, Regards Frank.

'84 Rangie with a oily 3.5. Had initially got a 3.9 EFI to put in it, but decided to go all out and put a 5.0 injected windsor out of a falcon in it. Still pretty compact unit, but with quite a bit more poke that the old rover V8.
Engineer certificate is in process, but they've told me there won't be any dramas.

Here's a pic of the 'ol girl

I'm in the process of pulling out the old 3.5, but I've conceded with the bellhousing bolts after I spent half an our on one which eventually broke, and 3 still in there that are the same, I'm pulling the whole lot out together.
I'm replacing the 5 speed and transfer anyway as the transfer is cactus and is 4th gear syncro.
Question I have is how do you take the rear tailshaft off ? The 4 hyloc nuts just turn around on the hand brake housing............ I'm also having trouble getting the crossmember out just under the gearbox that bolts to each side of the chassis, it's in there pretty tight, I doubt everything will clear to come out together. Any tips ? ?

I'll be sure to take plenty of pics !

Cheers.

Depending on which model the windsor came from, if an EB ED - should get a bigger MAF - will improve power and economy ( I'm using a 73mm maf, awesome upgrade from standard restrictive maf). See link. EB ED usually have `19lbs injectors, EF EL from memory have 24lbs

Small update,
Part way through making a 30L sub tank to fit under the drivers side.

Also, got the wiring harnes tidyed up.... 85% comfortable on what wires do what :D If I turn the key in a couple of weeks, and it doesn't fire, I reckon I'm screwed ! :p

Thanks mate,
It's out of an EF. I will be running it standard, very much a budget project, so wont be going all out performance.

Minor update, I am currently giving myself a serious headache with the wiring :confused: Also, tomorrow I have the Enzed man coming around to make a new power steering hose to adapt the falcon pump to the rangie box, that and also to make me up some high pressure fuel lines.

Here is what it looked like last week.. I wasn't happy with the air con pump bracket before, but it's all good now.

Also, the surge tank under the passenger side sill...

I have a couple of questions if someone could help, it's been a while since I pulled out the 3.5, and cannot find the alternator wiring ????? From memory, it was on the passenger side, has anyone got any pics to help ?
Also, does anyone know which wires were for the temp, oil, and tacho ? Where were they hiding ?



Cheers,
Peachey

Hey guys, I'm 95% finished putting a 5.0 out of my '96 Fairmont in my Range Rover. It's all bolted up and wired in, but as I hoped wouldn't happen when I turned thek key...... infact has..... NO GO !!!!:mad:

I have spark, but no fuel...... How do I trouble shoot to see if the injectors are getting power or squirting fuel ??? The plugs look dry. I have power going to the injectors on ignition, so I'm guessing a pulse or earth makes them operate ??
I'm using a smart lock bypass module, looks to be outputting about .35V to pin 3 of the ECU, does that sound right ???

Any help on things to check would be greatly appreciated, I'm really getting 4WD withdrawel symtoms, and this thing should be heaps of funs to drive when it starts !!!!!

Cheers guys !!!!

Get some NOID lights to check if power is going to the injectors.

Thanks mate,
Had a play today, I had +ve power on ign to the injectors, and when cranking the other wire was giving a -ve pulse, so I was happy with that working. Found the problem with no fuel, had an issue with the pump........ don't ask ;) So I now have fuel going through the rails. BUT !, now the injectors don't seem to be pulsing any -ve earth ?????

What is a NOID light ??

Well, after 3 weeks of checking, double checking, and triple checking all my wires and connections, turns out I had a faulty bypass module :mad: Not to mention the countless swear words.
So, after making the exhaust over the weekend, I will be putting everything back togther this weekend. Still got the thermos to wires up, radiator hoses and return fuel line to plum up and a long list of fidley bits and pieces.
Still to decide what to do with guages, I'm hoping the sender units will talk to the rangie dash, and the tacho too.

Will post up some pics soon.

Cheers !

One very happy and relieved Peachey !
