Greetings.... i have a small issue which i hope someone could set me straight.
I have just brought a 1971 swb and intend to restore to a solid work horse. She only needs a couple of outriggers but i have now got the thought of changing the engineto a transit as with the current state of fuel prices i heard you can get 40 + mpg in a series. Would the montego 2lt be better? I know i need to buy the conversion plate and am fairly happy with spanner work but are these easy swops on a series? If i decide to renew the chassis is it worth sticking to a new one or refurbing the original? Cheers all.
