It will fit, but you need to find a new mounting point up the top of the engine, as there is a plate that says 5.0L on the top of the intake where the four allen key bolt usually go..

i THINK the bottom 2 holes line up with the cover. There could also be issues involved with the top part of the cover hitting the EGR stuff, as AU's didn't have it.

Could be alot of messing around, but the result would make it worthwhile. The E-series 'BBQ Plate' engine covers are pretty craptastic.

I've got one here, doubt it'll clear the EGR. You'll need different brackets up the front.

The AU one mounts to the manifold differently, and the AU one won't clear the E-Series dizzy and coil, as well as all the other reasons above.
Engine covers are for poofs btw :P

Ah coil, that's why mine doesn't want to fit properly. Meh.

Well, it fouls on the thermo fans, but a bit of hacky hacky will fix that. And I didn't have a snorkle on. |

My EB XR8 is missing the engine cover I'm thinking of getting an engine plate off a AU 5litre and just replacing the engine plate, my question is is it a straight swap will it all line up , ive seen on ebay plain plates which look ok but I prefer the AU because of the 5 litre printed on the plate
