Mid engine Supercharged V8 Transit project

Postby PassTheGrinder » Sun Jun 25, 2023 4:29 pm

Just started another project! you can never have too many cars or projects guys!

I have just brought another V8 Jaaag and going to use it as a donner for all its running gear to fit into my trusty (rusty) old transit.
Going for a mid engine fitment as it will have more room to work on and fit a Turbo! The plan is to feed the Supercharger more boost from a turbo.
I have to finish the MX5 Minor body swap first so this will be on hold for a little while but at least I have made a start and got all the Jag bits.

I have uploaded a Youtube video will be live soon will post a link later.

Mid engine V8 Transit project

Hi Guys I have had a Transit for many, many, years and always wanted to build a mid engine V8 Transit. Well I have started the project I will be using a Jaaag XJR as the donner. Going to use all the running gear but the engine is going in the back so its mid engine. Check out my Youtube video on the start of this project.

nice project 8)

i quite fancied doing one like this but i was going to put the engine further forward and raise the floor and have the seats above the engine - possably weld in a cabstar type floor ??
the idea was so you could still get a full size load area in the back :idea:

anyway good luck with it 8)
