ok so my question is this, i can get my hands on a couple of 5L 302w engines but there all from EL/F's for around $650 - $800, is there any majour diffrence between them and the AU ones? (not including the 220kw)
i know the come with dizzys and not coil packs other then that is there much diffrence and would it be much to wire/instlall it compared to an AU (i know the ECU would be diffrent) |

Yep, the top end (heads, cam, manifold etc) is totally different - the E series V8s are a step back compared to an AU V8. The E series ones dont have much more power than your AU I6.

Base AU V8 is 175kw.
BUT, change the cam and give it a tune and you'll pickup bulk power.

Brad. If you've still got my number, give me a buzz and we'll have a chat mate.
I can sort out a complete AU tickford V8 conversion. Everything you'll need basically.. Cheers
