It's hard because the ECU is mated to the engine, transmission and losta' other stuff in the car.
The whole exercise would cost you a motza!

there are however plenty of ea-au engines being turbo'd lately, some of which make some fairly decent grunt too.

the problems are many first the engine sits higher so you won't close the bonnet without moding it. then there is getting the computer to work with the rest of the car. this is the first falcon to use can bus so the ECU won't talk to your old systems in your car so it's not just "plice the harness and ECU in" it is an major job and AFAIK no one has got it right yet. there may be some hope with after market ECUs but it must be ablet to contols the twin VCT and the cams are controled independantly so you will need 2 cam control chanels . so as you can see big $$$$$$$ probably not impossible though. on the plus side the BA still uses a btr tranny so these mountings will be the same. good luck
