brings back memories,I put a 2.8 capri motor in my transit race transporter, made a huge difference compared with the stock 1.6.

[boris]

u don't need a v6 jimmy just a 44 in the back using it like a dry sump a little pump just pumping it in as u go lol or some way of catching the oil as it goes out the tail pipe

[RevHead]

jimmy contact pat gardiner v6 convertions in moree he makes bolt in and wiring kits for around $600,,@ shadow the engine bay on jims van is way to short for a 4litre,jim you,l need to fit an external fuel pump use a camira or vl efi external unit ,and you,l need to fit a return fuel line to your fuel tank ,cheers pete

[Jockney Rebel]

ta guys i reckon its adoer so b y august/sept i should have amental van lol

[336LJ]

i wanna do the same thing but 2500 fucks me for the conversion gear.... if I'm going to flip my pockets inside out I'd rather drop a 1UZ jap v8 in there or something. keep it quiet and stealthy.. ish..

[Jockney Rebel]

conversion kit is $1250 from V6 connversions and ive just been promised a vs commie for a grand ...now all i need is a tranny power steering rack lol

might be worth a trip to a wreckers in sydney called "pick and pay less" jim
its a fucking goldmine in there, take your tools and dismantle whatever you want :D


ps- you know how i feel about hi powered vans

[Jockney Rebel]

yeah ta fimp ill do that and mr chase ...ha fuckin ha lol,

[MuZ]

in order to overlook the whole tragedy of inserting good GMH parts into a ford thing, we're gonna have to see some awesome skids done in this van of your when it's finished jim

[RevHead]

hey jim give me a call i,ll get some prices on a complete convertion 4 u

[Jockney Rebel]

ok pete cheers mate but the budget will be tight which is why i was doing the graft myself

[Jockney Rebel]

muxz i was thinking that it would be a cosmetic improvment over the old commode

[Jockney Rebel]

..and after all this time i finally got one ..a 99 lwb transit with a supercharged V6 in it 76027603happy days

[Gix11]

How's it handle with that much power? Sounds scary as fuck to me!

[K6Thou]

It's awesome Si. I loved this van and probably shouldn't have sold it but meh.... It sits a little lower in the front due to the weight of the engine/box but it's almost like a big gocart as far as handling goes.

[Jockney Rebel]

like danny says it drives well upto about 195 then it gets a bit hairy surprises the fuck out of a lot of utes lol and now ive learnt how to use the quick shift it gets off the line like a race car

[K6Thou]

I only ran it to 160ish but that was loaded with furniture and other crap and it felt well planted at that speed with a little extra weight.....

[Jockney Rebel]

yup i reckon a bit of weight would help ..gonna tidy up under the bonnet this weekend and sort out the body control module give it a service and see if i can do something about the fans ..ie put em on a thermo switch
