Various engines and other wants !

Postby belly » Wed Feb 08, 2012 11:53 pm

This is all pie in the sky as myself and my mate who runs a new shape Sprinter which is fcuked where chatting about mods as were both partial to a modded motor, firstly he really rates my Transit jumbo so we were saying wouldn't it be good to extended it even longer ! I said if you un stitched the centre seam and added the extention panel from a early jumbo (up to 54reg) that could give a extra meter 8) Then we got onto engines, I said my obvious wish would be to build a mk7 swb l/r 330 with the 3.2 200ps he suggested a mk6 ex rac 330 with a BMW 3.0d with auto box would be good, now fwd would a 2.5 5cyl petrol Focus ST lump fit in a mk6 ? Then we got onto the drw heavy duty set up, convert a mk6 lwb to drw that would never drag it's arse :lol: as I say just chatting and throwing a few tinkering ideas about, have you guys got any ? :D
