Nearly ready to paint the engine bay and rocker cover to match.  won't you need to bring down the compression as it's higher re the LPG engines??

Not much to update atm,I've finally taken the XG off the road for good as I'll be using alot of parts of it for the XF,the XG hasn't missed a beat and has been an absolute pleasure to drive with one of its last jobs being towing a VT Calais on a double axle car float with load activated brakes on the rear axle and it did it flawlessly,Im definitely going to miss it but looking forward to getting the XF sorted aswell.
So I was lucky enough to get myself a BA Futura to drive till I sort out the new ute. You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Can any one tell if AN10 is okay for the oil return?,bit big but don't want oil backing up in the turbo,input is smaller obviously/no restrictor as its a journal bearing turbo,just wanted to confirm there's not any problems with it being this big.

Working out mounting the BA seats for XF using the XG as a template-have a XE console to modify to take the gear shift being further back.

Hey guys, ute is still going forward (just really bloody slow build) ,but am still using the XG to work out stuff for the XF and just thought I'd add a couple of pics of the XG engine bay with the spoolinboost plenum 42 lb injectors,the rail was from an XRT and has a 4 bar regulator in it-the Up pipe with a turbo on it to work out how to clock it-sits so high though-so close to brake master res and booster (will make a stainless steel heat shield) will see how goes with a ba xr6t manifold (low mount) as well

Hey guy's, couple more shots just for the hell of it
It's clocked close to where it needs to be,trying to think of a way to do the intercooler piping without having to cut holes in the body-modified alloy radiator perhaps

And here we have "MX5.7 style high mount" lol
You'd need to cut a hole in the bonnet-its a ba-bf xr6t manifold upside down making it a way high mount

Hey guys, intercooler and 3" piping kit turned up today -so fashioned up some mounts to get it centered,still trying to find a smaller radiator that doesn't have the auto end tank so I can fit the 3"piping either side of it,the X series have more holes where the radiator mounting brackets can be moved in to fit a smaller rad-so if anyone knows of one that would work-I'd be eternally gratfull.
