Hi there,
I am new to the forum and this is my first entry.
I have a Ford Transit C-1086 2.5 D van purchased in 1998.
Unfortunately the engine has died. It is a type D / 4FD engine.
Finding the same type of engine is practically impossible, but in scrapyards near my city I can find second-hand ford transit 2.5 D engines but of the 4FB or 4HC type.
My question is: Can I mount a 4FB or a 4HC to replace my 4FD engine? Is there compatibility or will the mechanic have problems?
When I see the motors from the outside, they look almost the same, but I don't know if they are really compatible because I'm not a mechanic.
If they were compatible motors, which one do you recommend? 4FB or 4HC?
Thanks in advance.
This is my first post, if I've made any mistakes, I apologize.
I've had my broken down van for 3 weeks, I really need it and I'm desperate.
I hope you can help me.
All the best.
