MK1 Transit Diesel Power!!
I'm just getting back into the Ford thing after years of Alfas, so please stay with me!
I've bought a MK1 Transit Camper and want to go Turbo Diesel with it. The Transit forum guys are all using the 2.5Di engine, but that needs the in yer face bullnose front end and mine's only a pop-top van bodied version, not a big coachbuilt job.
There's not much length in the engine bay of a MK1, but if the 1.8 diesel fits in the space left by a CVH which is itself about the same length as a Crossflow (?), then I reckon I may be OK...
I'm thinking 1.8TD as found in 90s Escorts, Fiestas etc. Can anybody point me in the right direction to find out about fitting these longitudinally? Will they bolt to a type9 box or MT75? Any help would be much appreciated.
