Default NA Barra into XF falcon

Hi all, I have a 1992 XF falcon ute and I am keen to eventually barra swap it, likely just an NA or LPG converted to petrol barra due to price. I am hoping to gain an insight to what parts i would need to source and the like. Also I hear the stock XF difs can only take around 150kw so would need to upgrade those and i'm keen to put in an LSD too. Any help would be much appreciated.:b ogan

Castlemaine Hot Rod Shop has a Barra Conversion Kit for a XF. They also have done a series of Youtube videos on a Barra XF.

EF/EL series wagon diff will sort the rear end out - been 10 or so years since I sold my XF ute but it had an EL diff in it. Wasn't much to change over and IIRC there was a few high 400hp+ running them when I did it
