is it possible to run a single rail behind an EFI 302 out of a 91 LTD with the V8 bellhousing ? or do the older V8s have a different bolt pattern ?
i want to run a manual in my ute, but don't want to spend the money on one of the 5spd V8 boxes. and a late model auto wont fit in my XF without welding in a new tunnel, as it has a manual floor pan.
any ideas ?

Same bolt patterns mate...

and good gearboxes too, they can take some punishment..... just get a brass os steel bush made for the shifter and throw the old plastic one as far away as you can...

glad to hear it! thanks for the tip with the shifter too.

so no one's got any reason to believe it wont fit/work?
