If its calais, quick swap over. If not, all you need to do is swap the loom I think. Ive got a dash if you need.

Im sure you could. You could buy mine for i dunno $125. Stoney has his for sale, we werent sure how much they could get so I think his is up for $150.

The trip computer won't work with an injected 5L as the fuel flow meter will not be able to be hooked up to the motor anywhere!

Same with putting one in a VL (unless it's a V8), the trip computer won't work!

there's a lot of work involved. The whole loom has to be changed for a start. If you can get the EFI6 fuel sender for the trip computer you may be able to get that side to work, but otherwise the V8 one isn't meant for EFI fuel pressure. You also need the signal convertor to the dash for the speedo. There is a stck of bits that go with that loom.
