What I was after was a sort of parts list of what I would need, was trying to do something like buy an old granada but they seem to be making strong money round here and there are a few engines on ebay.
The Pick-up has a 2 litre pinto in it currently, can I use the box thats in there?
what engine mounts would I need? Xr4?
Upgrades wise, I want to keep it with the load capacity but I thinking of upgrading the front suspension, brakes and possibly a power rack.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Your need a t9 v6 bell housing, as long as yours is a pinto the box will be fine as the diesel box has a different length input shaft. Use v6 mounts, I believe they bolt straight on. Power rack is easy to change, but obviously you need to run the pump, I'm not sure cologne models had pas. If they did it's an easy task.
Keep us updated.
