yet another v6 question

[BLADEBEATEREATER]

Hi yawl

been away for a while now i'm back

i've just aquired a 2.9 v6 and now i'm collecting info on how to fit it in to my mk3. all i have is a efi engine and a mk3 with a 2litre pinto installed, i know a few of you have done this so can anyone tell me a list of parts i need

thanx in advance rich

Is your new engine a 12v

For the 24v you need

Engine
Loom
ECU
adaptor plate
Engine mounts
flywheel the correct size (or redrill pinto one)

I am doing a 24v cosworth at the moment.

If you are using a Type 9 or an auto its easier

... How is yours coming along Guy...?

A word of caution, though i hope you don't need it...

i removed the fuel rail on my BOB 24v to get then injectors out to clean them.....nightmare.....they are 'welded' into the rail, due to the heat and varnish in the fuel, the O rings have locked sold.....

A week of penetrating spray both 'ends' and eventually they came out, by holding the head of the injectors in a vice and twisting off the rail, but i broke one injector!

needless to say they are unobtainable from anyone new , so i had to beg on the FORDPOWER-UK site..... keep your eyes out.....

good luck

are you wanting to do a 24v or 12v conversion?

and do you want to go auto or manual?

ITS A 12v EFI, NOT SURE WETHER TO CONVERT TO CARB FOR SIMPLISITY, AND WOULD RATHER USE A MANUAL GEARBOX

[dipstick]

.....if you want a manual box, you will need the adapter plate for a V6 to MT75, or use a 'car' MT75 and reversed linkage.....

cheers

On the car box the gearstick is behind the box and on the van box it is on top.

Also, NO NEED TO SHOUT.

[Guy88]

ALSO WHERE CAN I GET AN ADAPTER FROM???????????

Pinto one can be re drilled or a V6 ambulance MK3

[BLADEBEATEREATER]

sorry caps lock stuck on

so apart from that the bolt patern is the same ?

Pinto one can be re drilled or a V6 ambulance MK3

When you say Mk3 ambulance you mean a later one as the early ones were Essex engined and would have had the 4 speed overdrive box.

[Guy88]

Yep and was an SVO order on MK4
