Mk7 transit 2.4 to 3.2 conversion

[Trey99]

Good evening everyone,

I have a 2.4 100ps 08 mk7 transit I use for my mobile mechanic business. It is slow as a slug especially up hills. I am interested in converting it to the 3.2 and wondering if anyone has done it and what I would need to do? I know I’ll need the engine, box, gear cables, front end and wiring loom and possibly the ecu but I’m not 100%.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Have a look in the members projects section, 'Agent Orange' by Martynx and there are probably others.

Martynx has definitely done this but it’s not a Saturday afternoon jobby.

Can indeed be done, gearbox and shift cables etc should be the same....But the 100 is a 5 speed....the 3.2 was originally a 6 speed....should still work though. Obviously the 5 cyl engine is longer than the 4 cyl and all the front end gubbins will need sorting. As mentioned Martyn "Vantuner" has done it.

worth a try on a MK6 as well. ?

Possible...but will be major surgery with nothing left of the Mk6 engine bay gubbins.

Your better getting a full Mk7 3.2 and grafting it into a Mk6

Possibly easiest way to do a mk7 conversation too.

It's been done before by others but think Agent Orange is the best documented.

As a side note you may have to factor in having the 3.2 rebuilt as the are prone to blowing between cylinders and require the block to be skimmed to rectify.
