I am going to overhaul my 4.2L to put into an AutoTune XK120/140/150 replica. What do I need (or should do) to delete the forced air and air rail? what belts would then be needed, plugs to fill the holes from the rail? what vacuum pipes and routing? .I would also like to do a manual gearbox swap. Would anyone have leads on trans availability (prefer 5 speed (I,think? Diff gearing?)) and instructions?
Thank you,
Dean (ProQuest)

 

P{luging the air rail holes is the easiest. Remove the rail. take it to your local hardware store. match up thread size and fitting. Or, use a tap that is close to the hole size to create threads for Allen plugs.


Yes, a fellow on J-l hada similr engione with a 5 speed. used many mustang parts to accomplish it. The BW trans can be split from the bell housing. That bell housong can be adapec to accept the T5.

Now clutch parsts need some fabrictin. And a means of affixing a surface to the flex plate for the clutch.

Pictures as you go.

You might need an idler to rplace the air pump.
