Engine Swap

Postby Wotisname » Thu Sep 22, 2022 5:23 pm

Hi,

I have the 2.5di engine from my Ambulance (Smilie) for sale. The original engine was a V6 3000. I have since fitted a 2.5tdi engine. Anyway my question is can it be fitted into a transit that has a Banana engine without too much trouble. The guy that wants to buy my engine, who is by no means an expert, says all sorts of things are different including the engine mounts.

Regards, Terry

If the mounts are different then just swap them for his existing ones, all the 2.5 transit engine blocks are basically the same, the things fitted to the block may differ slightly so its just a matter of using all his original bits on the new engine.

Yes a Di can be swapped for a TD or vice versa very easily.

Mk3 and mk4 have compatible engine mounts, whereas mk5 has a different type.

If the engine mounts are different swap the ones on the engine over.

Fuel filter may also be different - just use 8mm fuel hose and join the pipes

Early Di's don't have a lift pump, so a fuel line modification may be needed to incorporate/remove that

The Early 2,5Di from mk2s may have even more differences
