Ba Twin Cam Head On Eb-ed 4.0 Block

An aftermarket computer makes it easy.

Put EA-ED engine mounts on the motor and in it goes.

Is it really just a drop in? What about all the electrics /sensors/ airbags?

it mechanically fits in with 1 k frame mod (btw dan while your engine is out I'm redoing the mod !!!)

as to something different and as you mentioned commonwhore look at this:

Thanks Nick. I have a 2nd K frame here in a wreck that I was going to use but if you can do the one in it then the engine doesnt have to come out again.

OK and thanks guys, that's all I wanted to know, If the head would bolt strait on, But seeing as it dosent there is now no need for me to ask that question ever again! cheers.

No one knew and ive wanted to know for months so that's sorted.

Nice engine to I might add the ol 4-0 sohc, very well built but how do the standard rods hold up to any mods? rev and torque wise...

All I can say is from experience (Ea anniversary model) with the 4.0l singlie point injection, did a 200kmh+ run when I was young and dumb (the gearing was just wayyy to low on the first of the 4 speed autos). When I pulled up I had weird noises, turned out I snapped half of the head bolts. More power in it? maybe, you never know.

the early rods seem to hold up well better than ba?

I remember a ford engineer saying the reason the ba lpg cars need a different rod and the earlier cars don't is because of the heads flow rate, ie the early model head doesn't flow enough to break the stock rods (although they were apparently close to their limits) where the ba flowed enough that in the event of a back fire the ba stock petrol rods would break

I think Nick was referring to pre BA rods.
