Hi,
We used to have a 2dr rangie with a transit Di engine in it.

We had it for a good few years and proved to be very reliable,  not the quicket thing in the world, but very economical.

Let me know what you need help with and ill do my best to help you out, i see your not too far away, only wolverhampton.

Have you tried Milner ?

They are pretty reasonable and will likely give you some advice.

Had a word with my dad, unfortunatly he cant remember it too well as it was a good few years ago.
We are pretty sure you have to use the transit flywheel, but not 100% certain.
What parts have you got in the kit?
Another thing to mention is that the transit inlet manifold needs altering, if there isnt one with the kit.
There should be some dowels, and some special bolts, and some new engine mounts to weld onto the chassis.
What gearbox do you have at the moment, the kit we had was for the 4speed box.
Hope this helps a bit, any other things feel free to ask, ill try to help. :D

How heavy is the transit unit? Does it have lots of grunt?

TIA

Im not exactly sure how heavy the transit engine is, its all cast so will be a little heavier than a tdi, it is definatly far lighter than some of the other favoured engine such as toyota 6cyl diesel.
There are many different engine specs for the transit, they range from about 70hp upto around 150hp from what i can gather.
All depends which engine you go for and how old it is, and if it has a turbo or not.

Our rangie had the 70hp motor in it, although it wasnt as quick as a tdi, it was a lot cheaper to run than the old V8, and was much cheaper to fit than a tdi.
