Hi people. Can anyone tell me what is involved in changing a Mk1 transit with a manual gearbox, to automatic. The engine on the Mk1 van is very good, its a 2 litre petrol pinto.
I would like to know if its possible to keep the original engine and change whatever is needed for it to be automatic transmission. Or is there a whole load of parts to change over ? eg is it better to find a whole donor van and straight swap, then sell the donor van on ?
Yes I know the logic is ' find what you want' but I can't find one with the age and bosy type I'm after. I hate the new transit shape, and I want a Mk 1 so it will be tax exempt as it would be a second vehicle.
I hope one of you out there is nice enough to help with info, cheers
