Chance of a new chasis...but will my engine fit???

[Mango76]

Hey guys!!

I have a 99 T reg 2.5 rear wheel drive transit (with only 80k miles on it), but last summer someone kindly hit the side of it and literally ripped a huge hole in it!! plus as on most transits my back doors are starting to disintergrate!!

I have just been offered a non running 2000 Y reg transit which currently has a 2.4 rear wheel drive engine.

My question is...would my engine fit into the new chasis??? i have been told that the wiring looms may be different but apparently i can get around that!! but will the engine mounts etc be in the correct places to take my 99 engine???

Thanks in advance guys

I don't think anyone has actually done this, although it has been talked about
I can't see any reason why it wouldn't fit, but I doubt it will match up with the mounts without some fabrication, and the wiring looms would have to be swapped as well

Let us know if you do it

it has been done - there was a mk6 Di on ebay

as for the wiring unless yours is a turbo theres not much to it but fabricating the engine mounts etc. might take a bit of work

like al says keep us informed if you do go for it
