Hello everybody.
I am in Australia, and we have a 1969 Transit. It was originally a V4, but it had been roughly converted before we got it. We used the panels off a factory six to move the motor forward (it was between the seats!), and have recently removed the pre crossflow 200 and 3 speed (it ate about 4 3 speed boxes in 2 years!) and fitted a XE alloy 250 with single rail box.
Fitting a crossflow is very hard on a Transit, with lots of cutting. Next time I would use a pre crossflow 250. I would reccommend the 4 speed though.
I have heard of a Transit with Holden HQ front suspension, which would make it handle better. I would like to try it. Has anyone heard about this being done? You can get a rack and pinion conversion for HQs too, which would be nice.
My other automotive passion is old Peugeots, and I have 3. They are superbly engineered, although not as easy to work on a Fords.
