A black oak ecu? Never heard of them before. FordMan - is your new BA ECU running the ABS in your mont? ROFL, nah i was just saying that with the luck i have (not just with cars) i will get the s**t shagged out gearbox around haha. Lol @ Hitch Hikers! As far as i knew 'Black Oak' was the nickname of the new (BA-FG) Ford ECU's which are produced by 'Visteon'. Again, as far as i know the ABS is working, but there are heaps of questions i didn't ask because of all the excitement of getting my car back lol. I will have to find out, there's no ABS warning light showing, so i'm assuming everything is okay 
And Frank, that suggestion had come up at some time while chatting with my transmission mechanic, but it's just too hard to run the wiring and calibrating everything to work properly. If i bolt in this BA box, everything is guaranteed to run perfectly....*tongue in cheek* |

Unfortunately that doesn't quite work, blocks are different between SOHC and DOHC.

I'd be a lot more helpful around here, if I wasn't looking at one of your posts when trying to figure out what to say. |

You will get there tho! If there's no ABS warning light, that's not a bad starting point to it working. Cheers ToranaGuy

Well, i've given the wreckers $100 to hold the gearbox for me, so i have $900 to go. Guess i'll have to have a few quiet weekends 'till i can get the cash together. There's still a few bits and pieces that need to be sorted as well, i have to get the sequential shifter mounted up and wired plus a small handfull of other niggly things. So...i don't know when its going to be ready.
Sorry to drag this out so long

Bit of an update:
Here's some pictures of a few things BPT had done... ECU wiring in engine bay. 
More ECU wiring going into cabin. 
Electronic pedal bracket. 
Pedal is a bit off centre, but there isn't much room underneath the dash. 
The black plug is the new diagnostic port for the BA ECU. 
Here's a couple of pictures of my new HID lamps, i only installed one side for now, i couldn't be bothered taking out the battery to get to the other lamp haha! 6,000k HID, brightest legal lamps allowable....AFAIK. 
Ballast tucked away, hole cut into lamp cap for wiring to pass through. 
Side on shot, blinding haha. 
Here's the mods to the airbox that i couldn't show you while the car was in perth. Hacked out the bellmouth for a bit more flow, it's not pretty and has been squashed out of shape by the BA pipe being clamped onto it, it will do untill i get a full BA box. 
The side of the box, it made a slight difference to throttle response and made the induction noise something to love, but other than that, didn't do much.

Yeah, wouldn't mind just hopping in, turning the key and driving somewhere. One day, slowly getting there. Paid off another hundred for the cogbox the other day, so that's $800 to go haha. I'll run into a big lump of spare cash one day, it always happens that way.
Anyhoo, managed to score a brand new genuine/bosch strater motor as used in BF sixes for crackers. BF starter on left, EL starter on right. 
Slowly starting to get the shifter install hapening, just working out positioning of the unit so it will be centred when the console is eventually put back into place. Going to have to cut out a section of the transmission tunnel and put a box in to lower the shifter a bit. When we get a BA Falcon in at work, i'll get it up on the hoist and see where the cable runs through the firewall.
