but if you can do it right take it off etc it should go good

Not in yet, I am picking up some bits at easter, the BA box linkage is cable and I need to adapt that bit plus the position switch is a different plug.

Easy, the box I got has only 25,000Ks on it no E series would be that low, second its a Turbo box so maybe a bit stronger and lastly its got lower ratios on first and second.

the BA ute's wheelbase would be longer than the EF's wouldn't it, wouldn't that affect the driveshaft length issue?

It is going in today. I have installed a AU extension housing and speedo gear and added the selector arm onto the correct side of the box. The length is identical to any E or A series.

Sure does, I run out of time to persue this so I am back with the T5.
