Just wondering whats involved in doing it. Would I need custom mounts and what box to use as I want a manual and mines is a auto.

 

think the bell housing bolt pattern is different.

A great engine though and with it being light in comparison to the all iron V6 you should benefit all round. I have always thought about one in a Sierra...

 

Would the sierra type 9 box not work

 

same bellhousing pattern as a duratec i think so a MX5 gearbox

 

Would be interest if you could do it.

 

that the same one thats in the saph cosworth

 

No he means Mazda mx5 box iirc

Would be good but not sure how you'll do it cos the throttle body will be the bulk head end won't it?

 

It will be not totally sure if im going to attempt it yet. If so thats something id need to work round.

 

In fairness thinking about it it may be possible to spin the inlets round. It would require some thinking about but "may" be possible and need some one off bits. I suppose you'd need to measure up and see how it can fit you might have enough room to keep it as is and re route a longer intake pipe to the tb.

As I said you could do with an engine hung in place on a crane or the like to see where the mounts will go and see how close the tb is to the bulk head.

If you do it go for a 200 engine as those of us with 24s spend our time bolting 200 bits on and chasing 200 power anyway hth

 

just get the s-type jag 3.0 with manual box, its basicly an st220 engine already spun 90*, and its just a 3.0 version of the st24/st200 2.5 engine, and is factory 240hp

 

never thought of that then a gain id be as well doing a granny v6 cossie. fancy something a bit different got a few other ideas

 

if u want different, use the jag s-type v6 box and stick it behind the volvo xc90 v8, same engine as mondeo st's but with 2 extra cylinders, now thats different, don't know if the box would take the v8 power, or find a 3.5 eco boost v6 from america, same engine but twin turbo

 

Box should handle the power no probs,we used to make the 3.0 l rear diffs,very strong unit!!!
