Transit Mk7 2.4 engine swap

Postby Lukeib » Tue Feb 25, 2025 9:27 pm

Hello been a big fan of this site fixed meany problems over the years because of the community on hear, and now in need of your help again

But I'm after some direct help and can't find much about what I'm planning. I'm planning to take a dead engine out of a 2010 2.4 rwd lwb 6 speed and replace it with a 2007 2.4 rwd lwb 5 speed
I'm hoping to do a straight swop engine and gearbox is this posable with doner van being 5 speed and just not use 6th or would I need to switch cables and gear stick too maybe diff but not to bothered about top speed if it's slower if I don't swop it

And I'm also presuming I would have to transfer ECU and key/immobilizer could anyone confirm if I'm right please

Hope you can help in time planning on tackling this in 6 days at least take the dead one out anyway
Thanks

Please don't post the same thing in two different places, it confuses old men like me.
