hi

i have recently purchased an xh ute which apparenty has a tickford head (big t on front of head 94 dt off to the side). my old man has an el falcon futura and i realise that the manifolds are different and the el runs eec5 versys my eec 4. is this the only difference between the 2 engines and is it just a simple matter of swapping the manifold to an el or ef manifold and eec 5 computer to upgrade or is more involved? also was there a difference between the standard manifolds and computers and the xr6 equipment? if any gurus are out there and can help it would be muchly appreciated.

Manifolds are a straightforward conversion, but you do need an EL ECU to operate the butterfly in the BBM.

I did this to my own XH.

What's that?..... Did I hear you say TQE power?

You dont need one, you can get it to work other ways, but the EL ECU is the easiest way.

the benifit of the EL ECU over the shift light/rpm swithc method of switching is the changing of the ignition maps by the EL ECU.
