is the engine allready fitted to the van

i can only see it fitting mid engined or having the bulkhead cut out

how much is the van for sale for

[peter1975]

no the engine aint in van its someone who broke up a old jag and was going to fit it in his transit but all he as done is taken engine and box out of transit thats it looks like it will be a lot of work he wants £2200 for the lot but if i bought i might sell jag stuff and just put my v6 in it

[Luke]

it'd be a massive job depends how much experiance youve got with this sort of thing - a V6 conversion is a good starting project a V12 is one for the more experianced builder

[peter1975]

ye you right went and had another look this evening and just looking at the jag lump the bulk head would deff have to go or have 10ft bonnet so i will nip back in morning se if i can have deal with him and just stick to the v6 option

Have a word with Pat in Darlo. He seems to be able to put bollocks on a sausage. Probably done similar before, knowing him.
