Hey all, long time no post.
Got myself a nice BA Futura to run around in, so the XK wagon has gone into the shed for play time. Seriously thinking about building a ITB setup for it, just not sure what motor to put behind it (I know a bit cart before the horse) but ITB's would look pretty sick in the old girl. Was originally just going to drop in a 302, but am now swayed into leaving the 6, just gotta decide between a 250 or a Barra. |

leave the original engine in the xk if it works fine u will get more for it wen selling time comes also i would assume you would have all kinds of trouble getting a barra to work in a xk

It's still running the original 144 and two speed fordmatic, I've been using it as a semi-daily, she's pretty good for what she is. Not looking for resale value, I don't think I will ever part with it. Barra wouldn't be too hard with after market ECU and C4, it's just another internal combustion engine. Still looking at putting shockwave airbags all round, so originality isn't a priority (except for interior) old body new running gear.

A Barra would be an insane jump up, but what a whole lot of fun  from my unserstanding the barra requires a lot of work to get working get in contact with benj Last edited by fordnut1988 on Sun Jan 08, 2012 10:51 pm, edited 1 time in total. |

{USERNAME} wrote: XK cluster would have nothing to do with the Barra, it would have more to do with the C4 as that's where the speedo drive is. I think you're thinking about this a little too hard. Simplify it, take a BA long motor (block, head and internals) and that's it. Bolt an old school auto to it, make your own injection and management system and off you go. Nothing but the BA long motor is used. i always over think things lol but imho id still keep it original as the xk wagon is rare but each to there own |

Yeah it would just be a long motor run off an aftermarket ECU, original speedo could be run off the C4. Fixed cam timing, unless any ECU's can now handle the VCT (haven't looked at the latest ECU's yet). 302 would be easier, but I'm a six man, always have been
