Hi guys
About to purchase a donor for the xf ute. 5 litre conversion. Does the 4 speed auto fit between the transmissions mounting plates on the body with a 5 litre?. (I recently had to trim some off to fit a 4 speed behind a six in an XF with a custom made cross member) same deal?, Which engine mounts to use. I cant seem to find these answers by searching. cheers |

Where is Nigel when you need his knowledge. Windsor and Clevo mounts are exactly the same. I believe a custom gearbox crossmember will need to be made. No biggie. The Windsor will physically bolt in as per a clevo. But the power steering pump will hit the left shock tower. You will need to relieve the shock tower a bit.

Where the heater pipes come out the firewall, will be behind the cylinder head.
You will need the V8 engine mount adaptors that bolt onto the engine xmember. Thats all I got.

Installing a Windsor the heater pipes will come out above/beside the head. Its only when installing a Cleveland that they come out behind the head.

I have a complete thread on xfalcon.com (name : nigel - my 87 xf build).
I put an EB 4 Speed Auto/5.0 in an XF. Front isnt too hard - use V8 engine mount plates etc. Rears : Theyre too narrow, but youve figured that out. I removed the XF Trans mounts and welded the EB V8 ones in. Then used the EB Trans mount. The Trans does fit in - just not with (87) trans mounts on the body. That may not hold true for Leaded XF's. They may be ok. I believe my 87 XF had later style mounts from just before the EA came out. Nigel |
