Hoping for decent mileage with that :shock:

It wouldn't surprise me that it might be the same fuel running cost as the old V4, but with loads more grunt!!

This particular engine goes below 8l/100km with american steel to push, with transit as being lighter than most am cars, should go ok aswell.. Turbo is not good for mileage for sure..

Can't help but asking: how are you going to paint the chassis (especially the welding area) without overspraying all the new parts?. Are you going to dismantle all again, or spray over the lot (i hate that :? )

Sweet as mate, those parts, pretty much all areas where we have welded something into chassy, ive threated those with ovatrol.. So no need to paint, its actually some sort of paint. They use the same stuff in fin navy for ships..

Have you found the piece of paper which gives the ok for the engine swap? Got -66 lwb myself in Oulu and can't start the project without a document of mk1+essexv6.
