Use same mounts

Need XE Engine and loom

AFAIK the F15 wont fit the XE, is a small block box and the XE is a BIG block!!

Not even if you use the 8v flywheel and clutch!

F16, F20 or even F28 if you really want

f15 will only if you change the fly wheel, clutch and starter!!

the F15 is a small block box, using that box is just a rough **** way of not fitting the correct shafts



how big do the washers need to be? what if i dont use these?
cheers


Forget about the washers, please dont go that route.

If youve got the F15 you dont have the right shafts no, you need some 22 spline shafts. Are you 100% sure its a F15 an not a F16?
