Blimey, I'm confused now 
The 2.9 12v is your son's, you own a 2.3 16v - right? 
If it's the 2.3, do you mean ignition loom or fuel cut-off loom which goes to the cylinder head? Why the new fusebox - what problems was it for?
You need to get a ammeter on there in place of the blowing fuse and trace where the short is coming from.
Regards, Bruce
