00princey Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I have a mk 2 transit with the pinto engine, I need to swap it for a Di. The pick up is going to be used as part of my hotdog stall at music festivals, and unfortunately petrol is banned from most sites when they become live. Please help... Free hotdogs for life ++ chips Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macford Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 A lot more work involved and a lot of wiring. Thought the Sierra would be an easy option,and if it's an old transit wouldn't be that heavy No airbag ,ABS, P/S , etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eeb43 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 only a lot of wiring on a turbo di or change the pump for a normal di one and wind it up an eighth of a turn a type 9 transit gearbox would be ok but not very strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
