f6 motor wont fit, you will have to use a xr6 turbo motor.

[WILLEBII]

What's the difference between a f6 and a xr6? Thought it was just cooler n tune.

[BLKPHN]

Due to the fact that the F6 motor has larger cam's and also a larger rocker ration, causing the arms to be longer and would foul on the XR6 turbo rocker cover the F6 one is actually larger, this is not a problem in the BA shape but to squeeze it under the bonnet on a EF/EL will be a struggle. The sump volume of the F6 is also increase due to the more power, fords engineers wisdom was to just make it larger again fine on the BA style K frame but will make you require a custom sump or a XR6 turbo one with an external oil cooler just to make up the volume and cool the oil............

But seriously why not just buy a XR6T engine and paint the rocker cover??

I'm sorry but I'm a ford tech there is no phisical difference in size of the two motors the only difference is intercooler size and engine mapping I'v got a bf mk2 xr6 t in my el xr6 it fits under my bonnet fine no mods except my k frame mod to clear the sump

[lil regy]

did you need to cut the bonnet bracing to fit?? if not how much clearance is there??

Lol settle down.

Btw, a BF 06/06 onwards xr6t engines are F6 engines.

Hey yeah I did I'v still got to put some playdoh on the rocker cover to check exactly how much I do have but I had a 12 mm socket with some grease on it and it didn't touch so it seams to be a bit

[brad693]

Sorry guys I didn't realize lol I'v just about finished my project so any questions feel free to ask
