seriously pointless to use a transit. i probably know more about a serious swap like this than you do.

there's a difference between knowing and bein able to do something. just cuz you know how race driving works doesn't mean you are able to just strap yourself in and race.

jus cuz you think you know how to put a mid mounted v8 into a transit doesn't mean you are able to. and besides that, a custom transmission will have to be made so you can actually shift because the engine will be from a FR car, meaning the transmission attatched won't work. the transmission will have to extend from the middle/rear to the front, next to your seat, and the diff in the back along with the driveshaft and halfshafts will have to be custom to deliver power to the rear wheels. might as well go buy a used porsche and rip it apart.
