XR6T into GQ conversion

[Biscuits]

. Apart from the bellhousing/clutch and the mounting of the cluster and HIM/ICC its all going to be pretty much plug and play.

Have a read of this thread over at the Aus Ford Forums, http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11331318 Is a similar type of build as yours... but completely different. There are a LOT of issues with most of the "plug & play" components. but as difficult as it was, he got it happening. Hopefully a few of his issues will help you in getting this up and running smoothly

Ta, I will read that when I get a chance.

Edit **** read the first page and realised I had already read this thread when I was contemplating using a BA 4 speed and a territory transfer case in the patrol, the stumbling block was the territory has the front drive shaft on the passengers side and I could not find an easy way of flipping the patrols front axle over.

the XR6T Block is in the workshop for new rings and bearing along with a head for a full service so it nice and fresh when it goes in.

I spotted these whilst looking for something else they look similar to the factory switches in the surround but not sure of the size.
They have a wide range of switches as well.

Thanks for that I will add it to the growing list of options.

Anyone know if its possible to remove the key release button on the ignition switch , it is in the way of the BA key transceiver I need to install.

Looking good love the look of the dash. If only they did a bellhousing for an auto. Keep up the good work.

Generally you can just drill it out its just a spring with locking mechanism easily removed.

With the BA part? Considered that but the angle of the barrel is wrong and probably the steering lock would not be compatible.
