Can't see a difference? Will you be using same engine & box? If so, no difference @ all!

If you are converting a carb to EFI, then you will need the EFI tank & lines, as the carb tank may not have baffles. Also, EFI lines are thicker.

More info is prolly needed for accurate info

Sorry you need ot be correct on engine CODE - V body code.

I thought too KF laser into BG - BPT into BP SOHC or BP DOHC

Either way.
first off KF - is a 2.0L and V6

Your doing a KF V6 into BG SOHC.
I can't remember box issues is here but think the BG SOHC had F box not sure.

But your taking the whole BA KF front end into a BG. Can't remember anyone doing it.
Not saying it can't be done. Most would go all out on a KL - the 2.5L.

If someone has sold you the 2.3L S/C Eunos unit - it's the KJ and miller cycle and your in a world or hurt.

KF 2.0
KJ 2.3
KL 2.5

cannot use the f box from the bg, need to use a g series from a K series engined car are bellhousings is different to support K series engine.

to do the whole job as easily as possible, you'd need a donor car, money and time.

so you'd need you bg, a ba, a pouch of gold, and alot of time.

cheaper and easier just to buy a ba.

Bonnet clearance will be an issue, from memory. And you might have to swap your fans to the other side of the radiator and make them push-type.

But KF swaps have been done to BG Sedans before, so it's certainly doable. You might have to play around with driveshaft lengths too.
