Luke's 24v cosworth into mk1/2 thread!!!

[Luke]

Well as most of you know im fitting a V6 24v cossy engine into my mk2 fronted mk1 I'll post the progress as i get on in this thread I know there are a few others doing it but, we cant have too many 24v cossy transplant threads can we

So this is how im doing it

My donar car is a 92 J reg scorpio BOA engined, but has the more complecated wiring loom - apparantly but it doesnt put me off really theres plenty of info/help on the net if i get stuck

to make it easier ive also got a mk3 2.9 V6 12v ambilance to use the gearbox (although we suspect it is the same as a standard transit one), adapterplate and engine mountings

as far as fitting it in the van the only differece between the mk1 and the mk2 is the room under the bonnet i should be fine as the mk2 has the most room but anyone wanting to fit one in a mk1 you'll need the bullnose front or cut away the bulkhead

Luke, the gearbox is the same, i have 3 at the mo', and they are identical, on the outside anyway; a 2.5 Di MT75, a 2.9 Mt75 and an unknown Transit MT75.....
good luck

well this weekends work - basically nothing nearly got the box off the amby v6 - to get at the apapter plate when i dropped the prop on my fingers but on the plus side i'd got the box crossmember off - i thought it would bolt up the same as the mk2 one i have fitted but its different so i'll have to modify it

on a side note - im looking at fitting the cruise control off the scorp - as far as i can find out it will fit all i need is another pedal switch to go on the clutch i think it would be worth the hassle as its something i'd use - unlike the air con, with is prolly more hassle than its worth

[Luke]

Just got the box off, does look like a normal one - havent had them side by side yet tho

also got the flywheel off - i'll take a pic of it when i get home but i dont think its same as sierra - ive never seen one like it before - and the spigot bearing is in the flywheel - not the crank but someone may be able to identify it

i aslo bought a new clutch off ebay and its just arrived ................. and its wrong , incorrectly listed, but i'll try to get the correct one

and the plate - its off too - not exactly a just piece of plate drilled - it has locating bosses and the starter has a locating plate too but if you didnt have the correct flywheel im not sure that would work- but i'll post photos of that too

[dipstick]

Luke.....

... on the way then..... the flywheel is def a 'SVO' !, a lot different to the car ones or other Transit ones i have seen ....

What starter motor was fitted to yours, mine was marked up as a Granada DOHC Auto....

good luck

What diameter is your flywheel. the one i got is too small was a long shot thou come off a 2.3 i think

[Luke]

What diameter is your flywheel. the one i got is too small was a long shot thou come off a 2.3 i think

the ring gear dia is 298mm o/d and the friction face is 330mm i'll post some pics - i have them at home

[Luke]

conversion update - took the pinto out of the van today, started on getting the wiring out of the cossy - apart from that nowt

[dipstick]

The 2.9 V6 flywheel that came off an SVO Police Transit measures:

330mm dia friction face

298mm across gear side

approx 52mm from edge of friction surface to edge of gears

i hope some of this may be a help?

cheers

[Luke]

OK here's a pic



part numbers all proper 2.9 Transit bits

2.9 transit flywheel - 89 VB 6375 AB DOKLA
ring gear - 11 405 073
2.9 to mt75 adapter plate - cant read it till it's cleaned i'll edit it in
starter motor mounting plate - 89 VB 11K 196-AB
Clutch - AP 10-10½ D5
friction disk - 47809

Edit - cant find a part number on the plate so i guess 89 VB 11K 196-AB off the starter mounting plate is the number for the plate too

Edit 2 - the ring gear has 138 teeth

[popuptoaster]

flipping eck thats a flywheel and a half!! i guess is that deep to account for the adapter between the engine and box, looks bigger around than a car one as well but its a bit hard to tell from a pic.

[Guy88]

Right. The ring gear is bigget than the car one to make it meet the starter ont he adaptor plate.

If you use the car flywheel the starter needs moving

[Luke]

well started ripping the engine out of the granny - never known a big car with such a difficult access gave up today - too cold and windy

my plan is to fit the engine and box before painting the engine bay - thinking about it its the sensable way any modding/welding etc can be done and not need repainting then i'll pull it all out and paint then refit

[dipstick]

Luke,

how have you managed to get the ex manifolds past the adapter plate?

... cheers

[Guy88]

I was going to ask that. im doing a little design now

Luke if you need any help with the loom iv just worked mine out AGAIN cus the labels fell off
