RWD Engine Swap BMW M47?

Postby twin wheeler » Mon Sep 13, 2010 1:18 pm

Anyone have ideas / information to help with swapping a bmw m47 diesel engine in to a rwd transit......

Would like to use transit gearbox, the flywheel on the bmw engine seems very similar to the one on the 2.4 duratorq.

What problems are likely? How can I make the starter fit?

have a word with these guys http://www.topbossperformance.co.uk/#
when i was talking to them about my cossie conversion they were saying they use six speed bmw boxes instead of changing the rear diff so i'm sure it could be done the other way round. Also have a look at the cossie transit there building, very 8) 8)
