The production quality here was really good, to be fair all your videos are, you deserve (and I sincerely think you will have) a huge audience. I particularly enjoyed the switch to country music when you pulled out the tractor. This van will make a sick camper! nice job!!
Thanks, man! I'm glad you like it.
I replaced a few of those V4 1970's Mk1 transit engines back in the 80's. I used to separate the engine from the gearbox first.
That's a good choice of operation sequence! I will soon be putting it apart for inspection and restoration.
Great vid, thanks.
When i read the title i though whoa i hope he is saving the v4 and i thought maybe its getting a newer engine with more power after watching i am happy you intend to still use the rather unusual v4 engine good for you pal
I was attempting to keep the V4, but I'm really tempted to put a stronger 2.9L V6 in! It would certainly make driving more comfortable, especially with the van fully loaded.
Tomo Vinković help 😃😃

A little bit of information in front of the job would make your life way more easy. The parts for the essex engine are more difficult to find than the cologne engine. Outside of little britain
It surely would, but there is just something special in discovering it by yourself! 😁 I hope there will not be too many parts to replace though.
Great series, the Transit is a mainstay for us Brits and all others who use them. The engine the transit was fitted with was the bullet proof V4 that had been used in the Ford Corsair in the mid sixties. Keep up the good work.
It seems as a bulletproof engine! Although the van being quite heavy, I am considering installing a Cologne 2.9 V6 instead.. To make it a little more eager to go uphill!
Any progress on the Transit? Would love to know what you’ve decided to do engine wise
Cracking show subed already hope more on transit
👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🦄😁🤞✌️
Nice :}
Love your Videos... Waiting for the next Transit Video 😀 Greetings from Austria
Glad you like it! 😁
Ha ha, it was not that I thought you were not strong enough, it was that I had thought that you too smart, then you took the gearbox cover off without an oil pan.... After getting warnings from the diff and the speedo.... I did say don't....
Rookie mistake right there hehe
Hahaha sj•3 my same thoughts so I second your comment
👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🦄😁🤞✌️
I've also got an early mk1 flat front in the uk I'm fitting a turbo di with 4 speed automatic but keeping it flat front, to do so. I've had to move the engine back cutting the bulkhead, put crush tubes in chassis for engine mounts, and that won't lift in between front crossmember and bulkhead so I have to remove axle lift engine box complete from below, it's been in and out 5 or 6 times to get Position correct, but it's now on its mounts bolted in, next problem is wiring because its epic pump, fly by wire & gearbox need info from pump to change gear
I think the flat front looks nicer. There always seems to be lots of in-out action in real life custom builds, heh. Is that a 1.9 TDI you're dealing with?
@@HappyDayGarage no a transit mk5 turbo diesel 2.5 (banna type) engine with automatic gearbox
That's a great option. I also wouldn't mind a diesel in mine, but I'm sure V4 will be pretty cool too. I'm actually thinking about turbocharging it.
@@HappyDayGarage V4 2000 be ok if you can find one
@@HappyDayGarage Get an lpg conversion and have it set up to provide the domestic gas as well. Cheapest way to drive and cheapest most space efficient way to cook/heat.
Tomo didn't have a lot to say!
He's a hard worker. 😁
He is deffo stronger than you lol
Had me laffing
👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🦄😁🤞✌️
hey dude....super nice video!!!
are you going to film the entire restoration process of this ford transit MK1?
I wondered if a Volvo 2.3 engine would fit in it
good luck
gr. Arie
Thanks. That is the plan, yes. Everything is possible, it just depends how much money, time and effort you're willing to put in. I am actually considering installing a Cologne 2.9 V6 engine in the van for some extra power.
when you use a a Volvo 2.3 engine, you can drive on LPG really cheap!
Love it, any updates on the transit coming? Building one myself so want to watch as much mk1 transit content as I can :)
That's the way to go! The Transit is in the waiting line at the moment, but I will be inspecting the V4 engine soon.
Keep an eye for updates.
I love the colour of your transit, did you paint it yourself and what shade is it?
Glad you like it! It was like that when we got it, so I don't know the shade unfortunately.
But we will be keeping it at least similar colour. 🙂
@@HappyDayGarage it's a great colour, shame you're not sure what it is, I've recently rescued a MK1 transit which someone has painted green but it was blue originally so trying to find a good blue 🙂
Got as far as watching you snap the manifold studs off and stopped watching
Sorry to hear that, Joe!
