Re: Au motor in the EA SVO
Hey Rollin...
I haven't tested this all yet so don't hold it to my neck that it works but this is whats been done so far..
I picked up a 2001 XR6 VCT engine with loom and computer for get this.... $1500 thats 1367 or the like not icluding GST. I've seen the car is out of a silver XR6 with 46000 km on it and no marks or anything in the engine bay or the engine. he gave me a different cars computer and loom. to begin with he told me $2500 not neg! I came back a month later said one grand VISA, 500 cash he said no worries. I you live in VIC and want any ford parts send me a Msg and I'll give details.
About fitting, firstly remove the old motor and change over the mounts, Grind a fair bit off the front of the sump( just wait until you go to slide it in, then you will see where it doesn't fit, BUT REMEMBER that when you first put it in the motor tilts backward so don't take too much off; it will fit better when it sits level. then fuel lines are easy just get a few inches of pipe and cut the two lines at a similar spot put the pipe in both and put hose clamps on. about the heater hose. mine was a MPfi EA and the pipes didn't fit. the AU pipe bends down at the end, I cut that bend off the AU pipe and the EA pipe went straight on.
about the A/C compressor, I stuck with the AU so I didn't need to regas the system, or upgrade etc. you can use the AU aircon mount but moved to different holes with the EA compressor, or so it looks thus far. mine is all fitted but i'm unsure if it will all work.
There are a few other things like there being no place for the coil pack because it ussually fits on the AU engine mounts, so I made one up out of a steel Shelf bracket.
my EA bell housing for a manual didn't fit on the AU sump(holes didn't line up) and I would feel bad telling you to modify or something may break so get the AU bell housing if possible.
The AU starter was smaller than my EA one so i got an EF one, but i was told EB's have smaller starters too.
you will need to run an AU accelerator cable if you dont have the variable length runners(ie EA to ED/EF not sure bout that.) I don't know if EL or EF cables fit, also you will need the vacuum control solenoid, should get it for free, its tiny and controls the Variable lenght manifold.
wow, that was a speill. got any more q's just yell out.
