1997 ford transit motor cooked
My son has cooked his transit motor. 2.0 lt petrol manual.
We have been told that it might be cheaper..better to put a different motor in it. Like a another ford or a commodore v6. Was just hoping someone out there might have experience or opinions on this
Thanks in advance

welcome southy to the forums.
hmm a commodorre v6 would fit but then the electrics, wiring and ecu would be painful and expensive to convert and be engineered so. Id just stick with the existing motor or shoehorn that turbo diesel motor in. My friend has a 03 transit with that and it seriously-pulls. Should be a relitiverly easy changeover to this
different ecu that should be it and a sensor or two.
But on the psychological side, the real human factor is not whether people go crazy living in a tin: they don't. It's whether they can put up with the overwork once they arrive on Mars and start a rigorous programme of field exploration- Robert Zubrin (1952-)

What would be the hassles with putting a diesel in the van... would gear box and stuff be okay..
Found a website that sells conversion kits for commodore to transit...so must be done a bit for them to bother
Re: 1997 ford transit motor cooked
Transit gear is stupidly expensive
The 3.8 v6 and gear box is a good and reasonably priced swap
Gat Gardner makes a complete conversion kit
as do Castlemain Rod shop
