Hello folks,
I will soon buy a MK2 Transit and plan to swap the engine. The best would be a 2.0 Pinto, but people now really want a HUGE amount of money for these in France and Belgium, so I'm thinking about swapping a V6 2.3 Cologne engine, and a M27 5-speed gearbox.
I can get a M27 5-speed gearbox and a crossmember from a MK3 and I still have a 4-speed gearbox from a MK1. Can I use the bellhousing from the MK1 gearbox on the M27 one, to fit the Cologne V6 engine?
I also have the V4 engine mounts. Can I use them with the V6 engine and does it fit in the MK2 without any modification?
Of course, the easiest way would be to find a cheap 2.0 Pinto but if I can get a complete V6 Cologne (with exhaust manifolds, distributor, ...) for even cheaper, it could worth a try.
