      Swapping 4l into xf

      By Melba toast xf · Posted

      I hit a roo in my pano this morning and wrote it off but the motors still in perfect condition and has a few mods done to it so it'd be a good candidate for my xf. What will I have to do to be able to swap it?

      yep, as Thom said. 
      The XF T5 cross member may even have the center hole already in it, i have seen them many times drilled for both.    like this one (image from @fotz thread recently, on the left not circled)

      If you xf already has a t5 it's almost a straight swap, the trans mount is different on e series, ,e series has a single bolt trans mount, all you have to do is drill you crossmember for the e series mount and swap your speedo transducer, the rest its the same

      I have it all, I just want to hook the E SERIES BOX up to MY bell housing, and just bolt it back up...Its unleaded, an 87 model..Just wanted to know if it would just bolt up with out any other modification/s....

      By SPACK · Posted

      The XF is a manual, T5, I was hoping to just put my XF BELL HOUSING on to the E SERIES GEAR BOX and put it into the car..use my gear stick on it..its UNLEADED, SO THE CABLE RUNS TO THE PASSENGER SIDE..

      GEARBOX..

      By deankxf · Posted

      what's in it now? single rail 4 speed?  if so, is it unleaded or leaded (clutch cable on driver side is leaded)   if it's unleaded single rail, the clutch cable is same as the XF T5 otherwise you'll need one.    cross member or modify the original if you can't find one (actually aftermarket are making them)  pic below of mine i modified..   gear stick and knob are different to the single rail also (sounds obvious, but i had to find one back in the day due to buying a gearbox only)

      T5 crossflow bell housing is available aftermarket also in Alloy, but only as a leaded clutch from memory or hydraulic which makes it tight for exhaust on the cable side  with a CAT (I used a CRS one) or you can drill the single rail to suit (there's a thread here, but on your car you'd appreciate the correct parts used, so an XF T5 bell housing for a crossflow obviously)

      you need a t5 crossmember for the gearbox which is not hard to find 50 to 100 bux,early t5 has a taller 1st gear .

      I have the chance/option to buy an E-SERIES gearbox, A T5, I want to put in my XF, do I just change BELL HOUSINGS and fit, nothing else to do..it all lines up?

      WARNING Please Read! CHEAP PARTS = DANGER

      By Tazvan · Posted

      I've always thought that paying up meant you were buying the higher quality version of something, but clearly that just isn't the case these days!   It's just so crazy to read some of the pathetic quality of products available now including non car related stuff...   Does anyone know what brand is sold by resto country? Only thing I understand is that they are affiliated with rare spares...
