Ford into a Kombi
Rural Baja - April 9th, 2007 at 04:19 PM

Just wondering if an XF Falcon motor will fit into a 73 kombi? Is a 3.9L and i would need an adapter plate aswell as a radiator. Would the engine fit?

Cheers Will

never say never, my old man had a blue 202 holden in the back of his kombi at one stage. He just had to make a custom engine lid and cut the panel below it out. He even had the radiator at the very back as well, although that didnt work too well so he moved the radiator to the front.

although, having said that, you are much better off putting a modern jap engine of some sort in rather than an old dinosaur like the XF.
