Engine Swap

Postby MK3Di » Fri Sep 12, 2025 10:49 am

Hello everyone, I have a question: which engines, including foreign engines, are compatible with an MT75 Transit transmission...or what other options are there? I'm primarily interested in diesel conversions; anything with more than 120 hp is acceptable.
1987, 2,5Di,early 4AB enggine,Mk3 Westfalia Nugget,cruise control,Power steering,airride with 15liter tank and compressor,auxiliary heater, keyless open,rimms 8J x14 ,235/60/14,5speed Mt75,intercooler RS ,IHI Turbo,oil cooler,and a lot more :mrgreen:
