Thread: 3.2lt Duratorq

Bell Autos and Ashcrofts are working on it with the HD MT82 gearbox, don't know about the R380 though.

Defender2 - View topic - Any body herd anything more about the 3.2 transit engine

Cheers

Cheers for the info I will give it a look

The r380 won't be capable of handling the extra torque... It's pretty much maxed out with a remapped td5.

Bell housing is a major limiter for flywheel and clutch size also so that would need to be addresses too.

... Just read the Defnder2e thread. Looks like my post above has already been covered.

Interesting project.

These Transit van engines just keep getting better and better......

The new Ford Ranger uses the 3.2 5cyl and the MT82 box. Might be easier trying to shoehorn the Ranger version in than the Tranny one
