An EF-El motor would be easier due to the sump being made from tin.
But anything is possible with enough $$$ and will...


i was just interested in the block.
ie. would the EF heads/sump/crank etc fit onto an AU block?


Head, rods and pistons can be used (they are different but fit).

sump and crank do not.

Just a question, but why would people want to convert a MPEFI engine to a X-series 'Carby' engine, it will give you less power and torque, why would people do that?
i dont know why anyone would do this on a road car, if your refering to the 4.0l in a xf at the start of this sticky it is just a guide on problems you may encounter (in speedway carbys are more practical).
stockstandard can you edit and remove the 4.0l into x-series part of the sticky, its better to remove it an wait untill you do your write up on your 4.0l into x-series road conversion when its up and running :)

Anyone got suggestions as to where would be the best type of place to take my AU sump to get modified to fit an EF?

At the start of the thread you forgot all about the AU ticky motors, in particular the AU VCT.

the engine looks really low in the bay, would have thought he'd get it to fit. those b series engines are just that little bit too high i would have thought

they were throttle body injected mate. two "injectors" controlled electronically. very primative but it works. it was standard on gl's to eb I but for some small amount of money you could option multipoint fuel injection.
