Perkins bits

[rangie76]

Hi does any one know to any bell housings for the gearbox to suit the 4.108 engine fitted to transit also Perkins air pump .
Many Thanks.

is it the same as the early v4 petrol ??

I am not familiar with what the v4 used did the v4 have a rear facing starter motor slung up the side of the gearbox instead of lying along length of the sump/block ? I think that set up is only relevant to a perkins engine setup.

not sure , but i have an early ford dealer workshop manual and it has chapters on the engine variants 4108 , 499 and petrol 1.7 and 2.0

and the book only has info on one gearbox

HI, The gearbox is the same but the bell housing is different and instead of cable clutch I think its hydraulic I have tried to upload a picture of one but I doesn't seem to want to do it its off another post on mk1 / 2 transits under different gearbox types.

The early Perkins gearboxes are differnt, the clutch is rod operated & diesel bellhousing has different bolt spacing to the gearbox.

Thanks Ralph, I must admit I have not worked on mk1 transits before so not familiar, just to clarify the perkins bell housing will not fit on later mk1 gearbox ? Thanks

[Neil]

the bellhousing should fit on the gearbox , the bolt position to the engine might be differant looking from the front is your starter on the right ,, or passenger side ?

Hi Neil, the tranny was converted from a perkins to a pinto engine and box changed so thats why I cant tell you what I have , it should be on passenger side but facing rearwards from engine along side of the gearbox.
