well having sold the mk5 cosworth its time for the next project transit, bought myself a 302 v8 from an econoline, bargin price of £300 complete and running, shame i only want the block!!!!!!, the engine is going to be built to at least 400bhp, plus i have a complete NOS kit that sits under a holley, not sure what hp shot it is but i'm guessing at least 100hp, the van will have a dana axle with lsd and discs, so axle will come from a 2007+ van with discs and a lsd from america, that is if info on axle i found out is correct and its a dana 60, one built it will have a full wrap as my mate has his own business doing wrapping so is doing it at a good price, see some of my wrap ideas in the photoshop section, van will start life as a 2.3 lpg swb van, i'm thinking some nice 20's will look nice for show uses as well, all i need now is a cheap mk6 lpg petrol van. and i'm not having it auto, manual all the way, will be using it for a bit of drifting i think, as well as to tow my kit car about.

well i've just found out the hub seals on my axle are F75W-1177-BA which converts to Finis Code 3896454 which is a ........................ Transit Rear Hub Oil Seal :shock:
