Hey guys hope all is good
Two weeks ago I got hold off a connect TDDI with a blown engine (hole in block due to neglect of engine oil by previous owner). These engine are well know for little end problems!
There has always been this one question ask time and time again "Will the ford focus tddi engine fit the ford transit connect tddi"
I am a capable mechanic and will undertake this project to see if this can be done.
WHY?......
In the uk the ford focus tddi grows on trees, you can find plenty ford focus tddi engines on ebay all day long with a price range of £250 to £450. Average mileage is around 90000.
Ford transit connect TDDI engine are like gold dust on ebay price range from £750 to £1250.
Sorry to you USA connect owners I no you don't have the TDDI model connect.
So far I no for sure that these are a perfect match:
Connect cylinder head same as ford focus (tddi)
Connect gearbox will fit ford focus engine (tddi)
Connect engine block is same as ford focus block, HOWEVER! both these blocks are a two part block, (top and bottom). from looking at both blocks together the connect engine bottom drive shaft bracket looks slightly higher.
Will get some photos up on here later
Buy for now
