haha soon mate soon,

are xh's the model ute for els or ef's?


Whoops! Missed that one, sorry man. You have two types of XH's, XH1's and XH2's. XH1's had the 'ED' style engine with the log type manifold where the throttle was low in the engine bay. The XH1 was probably on the same level and build dates as the EF sedan. XH2's (correct me if i'm wrong) had a full 'EL' engine setup with dual length manifold etc and were on the same level as the EL. I get really confused with 'E' series utes, they seem to be a good example of Fords parts bin specials haha, not saying they're s**t, just that there's soooooo many parts that get carried over or retained.

One thing i will tell you about the xh is the boss kit is completely unique. Doesn't use a spline, uses a hes peg instead. Stupid design, no adjustment, f**k ford.

I would love to do something like this. Have they given a final figure with the tune and all. The changeover doesn't seem that hard but electronic side would do my head in.
