In an AUII XR8 how do you know if it is a 220KW V8 (besides the badge that can be bought from any Ford Spares)?

The 70mm throttle body on the 220kw has Tickford wings on it, but that can be changed too.

Easiest way is to ring Ford and ask them to check on their system.

220 badge on rear, 220 sticker on engine cover, and the tickford wings (as said) on the t-body. And any model XR after June 2001 should be 220.

I have asked this question, obviously because I am looking to buy a AUII or later XR8. I no longer have my XR6T.
The car I'm looking at, was built on the 28/06/01. It has a 220 badge on the boot and the Tickford wings on the TB. I supplied the vin number to my local Ford dealer who claims that it is only a 200kw version and that the 220 was not released till August 2001. I will do a search also, but any info supplied will be greatly appreciated! |

I thought it was April 01 when the 220's came into play myself, if youve got the VIN ring Ford CRC (13 FORD) and they will be able to look it up, I wouldnt trust the dealer.

Interesting that someone would go to that length to change it i.e. putting the badges on. That said though, mine is a 200kw (ute) and has the 70mm TB which was added by Herrod, so its not a difficult thing to do.
Best advise is to just go for the latest build you can find, anything late 01 or 2002 would be my pick.
