ford engine conversion

Haltech in Aussie does stand-alone computers and edited looms for Jet boats. Give them a call- they are the Barra specialists. There's also a guy on Facebook (in Aussie) that does this as well with factory Ecu's but I can't remember his name.

We just swapped a Grenada V6 out of our Jet53 for a Barra.  Did all the work ourselves.  Running stock ECU that we reflashed using PCMTec.  Basically we took the whole loom from the car including throttle pedal and stripped it back to the basics that are required.  Now have a laminated wiring diagram of what is required.  Managed to tune out the need for a speed sensor.  Fitting it within engine bearers was a challenge.  Mounted alternator up where power steering pump usually goes. Changed to a shorter oil filter.  Made a linkage from boat throttle pedal to the car throttle pedal.  Made our own water cooled exhaust manifold.  Motor weighed 235kg with everything on except exhaust manifold. Happy to share our learnings.  We are in Taranaki, where are you based?
