Hi,there is a lot of stuff on here which is a bit confusing for me (easily done!)Where is the best place for all the info required to fit a 5.0 from an EF (was auto) to an XH (was factory 6 cylinder manual)I have the complete donor car.

the hardest part of the swap will be the wiring . it's not a plug n play setup , the XH is unique to itself , no other wiring loom will fit . other than that you will need a new fuel line ( the steel one) , different to sedan models everything else is the same .

Thanks,I didnt realise the xh wiring was unique,is it feasible to swap the loom from the ef along with dash and ignition?
Cheers Mike

no ,too different to fit the EF dash loom into the XH . but if you feel confident and good on the tools you can swap the whole EF dash into the XH ,need a little work to fit and need to "frankenstin" the heaterbox to suit ( 2 into 1 deal) then just need to work the handbrake out ,has been done before .... is you ute a Tbar or colunm shift ?
there is a topic build on this site about fitting EF-L dash into XH ,can't remember who done it .

Thanks for that info,it all helps my ute is manual floor shift. Cheers Mike
