Hi peoples,
Just curious if anyone knows how hard and or if possible it is to put a ba engine and gearbox into an ef????
Just had my auto tranny go kaput. Which isn't the end of the world i know but i've almost completed doing up the exterior and interior. The engine is starting to get a bit long in the tooth and i don't want to get to a stage where it's all done up with no where to go. So do ya think its possible and worth my time??????????

it is possible, i think you need to cut a hole in your bonnet so it will close but id just go the au motor instead.

It is quite simple really apart from some electronics
you need to cut and shorten the mounts or make new units , some of the braces need removal from inside the bonnet and you need to eyeball the sump , we shoved a BA turbo into an EL with a bit of a tight fit .. are you patient and good with tools ? ( we also fitted a custom prop shaft with center bearing )
