v6 in a transit??

[jay]

how do i put a v6 in a transit.the engine i have got is a v6 2.9injection out of a granada g reg with a autobox.i know the engine will fit (got a welder and grinder will make it fit)want to know willl the auto box fit a transit or do i need a transit one??or is it easier to fit a manual box and if so which on?but would prefer a auto(just my preference)if using the granada auto box will the transit propshaft fit .....it will be going in a mk3 chassis cab going to change my engine again in my blue one...

put the auto box in mate ,you will have to mod a frew bits but would be worth it! you could do with a transit auto gearstick but these are hard to find!

[jay]

gonna put auto box in and make up the gearstick or extend the original one in the granada but need to know will prop fit?? not a problem with the rest that i can see..

[madmark]

jay the only chance you might have of the prop fitting is if you van is 86-88 if you are mt75 then no it wont ! but i think you will have to mod the prop mate!

That exhaust was on last week, never had a bid
it you just extend the granny gear lever the top will move about 4 foot either way
me mate fitted a 24V in a Mk2 and had a similar problem i beleive he moved the pivot point up at the same time to lessen the throw of the stick,
it belonged to 24vtranny.
I beleive it had the 4 speed in it from the geanny as well

auto is so nice in a tranny !

[jay]

brakes???????what are they!!!!auto defo.

that exhaust was in leeds to far for me..gonna use granny exhaust down pipes and manifolds.with the help of welder and grinder
It will fit just need a bit of gentle perswation.
