Hi ST'ers!
Quick question for anyone whos any bit versed in the possibility of Diesel swapping one of these beauties!
I've got an '04 XLT, its my first petrol vehicle, I've always driven Diesels back home in Ireland and I love how powerful and fun those engines are and I cant seem to get any bit of a kick from the 4.0L SOHC to the same extent as I have before with 2.0L TDCI's and 1.9L TDI's.
Getting back to my question, is it possible to swap in either a 1.9L or 2.0L TDI from a scrapped Golf or Jetta in to my Sport Trac?
Would the engine be able to run the frame without too much of a reduction in efficiency due to the weight of the vehicle? Would I also need to throw in a new Trans or can I keep my stock 5R55E with 4WD?
I've seen some TDI transmission adapter kits online VW 1.9 2.0L TDI to Ford 2.8, 2.9, 4.0L Transmission Adapter Kit
Any help would be great, thanks!
