Tyson Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 i'm gonna put a 2JZGTE in my Transit van:d what do you guys think??? waste of a good engine :innocent:or nice idea:cool: would be something different I guess but how the hell would you fit it in ?? Would you have to put in the back on a space frame ?? Surely the engine bay is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too small for a 2jz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TransitVanMan Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 a rover V8 goes in no probs - the JZ is longer but thinner and the g/box on a transit is huge it'll just take up that space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I take it this is a very old Transit? I cant see how a FWD transit would fit a 2JZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I'm saying waste, only on the grounds that it would be better if it were put into something cool. A classic car if it can hold the engine and handle the power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprash Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I take it this is a very old Transit? I cant see how a FWD transit would fit a 2JZ My thoughts exactly.....cant see how that would work ? To the OP, why exactly are you wanting to do this ? Do you have an old 2J lying around and a spare transit, do you currently drive the transit and need a new engine ? Why would you want to do this ?

Chris Wilson Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Mid mounted with a transaxle, yes. Here's a nice transaxle for it: http://www.motorsportads.com/car-parts/transmission/20759.html Jury rigged in the front with a hammer and scaffold tube, with a stock rear axle and stock axle location, no, a total waste of an engine In fact, add transaxle above with engine below and you could have something that kept at least part of the Ford heritage: http://www.motorsportads.com/car-parts/engines/20760.html albeit one costing getting well on for £100K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Off topic, but whats the HB from Chris? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 No idea, it isn't mine, unfortunately I just saw the ad yesterday. Probably one of these, they made loads of them, could even be an XJR-14 jaguar engine with Ford cam covers. 1991: Ford HB series IV: Jordan Ford HB series V and VI: Benetton 1992: Ford HB series V: Fondmetal, Lotus Ford HB series VI: Benetton 1993: Ford HB series VI: Lotus, Minardi Ford HB series VII: McLaren (with TAG electronics) Ford HB series VII and VIII: Benetton 1994: Ford HB series VI: Simtek Ford HB series VII and VIII: Arrows. Larrousse, Minardi The price has dropped £10K anyway: http://www.motorsport-sales.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=320&products_id=1040 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDowdy Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 to answer a few questions...... this is actually being done:) the Transit in question is the grey one in this clip Luke (transitvanman) built both those vans, the white one was the 1st modern shape Transit to have a YB fitted (it's standard in the clip) the grey van his own van has a standard BOA and runs 16second 1/4's - in the clip it ran an 18 as it was in the early stages of development - as for the axle etc. its a modified Dana 60 with LSD (wasn't fitted in the clip) stuff like brakes suspention is all uprated from standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprash Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Just wondered where the idea of it came from...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Why not indeed. I always think the ultimate "daft" car was the Alfa Romeo factory 164 with the F1 engine in it, stunning build quality, and VERY quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
