I have recently purchased a '67 FJ 40 which currently has a SB Chevy/auto installed. the truck is pretty nice, without any appreciable rust, drips or errors. I also have a brand new, never run BMW 2.4 ltr. turbo diesel that my father bought at auction a few years ago when a RV company that was putting these engines into their RV's went out of business. This is the same engine that Ford put into the Lincoln Continentals in the mid 70's. It currently has a ZF 5 sp. manual transmission mated to it.
Is there anyone on this form with experience or advice about mating these two?
I would be surprised if anyone has done this swap before.I think you might get lucky, because Ford (at least) used a 5 speed ZF with transfer case in their 4wd trucks.Have you been able to find out what else this engine was used in? I remember the RV's these came in...Vixen(?) i thought they were cool.Big bucks!
I know nothing about the motor's, but the size of it sure is cool, would be a good swap for many of the smaller trucks people want to put the 3.9's in... Just saying...
I believe they were used 88-96.Pretty sure they used them in diesel and gas trucks.Lots of Ford forums you can check.
I just bought a engine/tranny out of a 2008 335d.Not sure what it will go into, but the price was right.
Looks like it is missing a few pieces but nice find.
Ford used a ZF in all F150, F250, F350 and broncos from like '87 on.
Don't know what tail shaft your tranny has, but there are plenty of intermediate housings and 1356 transfer cases laying around that should bolt right on there.
We have the same engine with a 4 spd auto. We are either putting it in an early bronco or a bronco II.
We also have on in a lincoln. Not a bad engine. Pretty easy to turn the power up and still get great mileage.
they are very quiet engines.
