or actually

 

here'shere's

 

 

 

 

transmogrify a 90s Caddy front-wheel-drive front end into the rear of the Transit

to get 220 KW of Northstar power in the south end of the ratty camper van

 

 

 

...why that?

 

simply because they're the cheapest sets of V 8 powered wheels out there,

so here's how!

the Northstar and the transaxle auto gearbox are mounted on a subframe

 

and the subframe sits in the front frame rails

 

which could (fairly) easily be welded

 

into the loading compartment of the Transit

 

steering arms would have to be fixed of course

 

suck my pipes, daddyoh

 

 

...frontend?

 

uhm, straight axle, all original, maybe

 

gasser style anybody?
