Mondeo V6 - how do I RWD it

[SS069]

has anyone ever done a RWD conversion on the Mondeo V6 - got the chance of a V6 1998/S reg Mondeo at very reasonable money, car is an Auto...........but how big a job will it be to convert it to RWD ?

[bortaf]

I'd love to know a cheap wa yto do it as i've scrapped loads of V6 mondys over the past few years :Ddoesn't it have a mazda B/H pattern same as mazda MX5?

You sell it and by a Sierra or even better a Capri.

What is it your wanting to do convert the mondeo to RWD or fit the V6 into something else RWD?

[cortina_gt]

The Mondeo/Contour engines were called duratecs here. This listing does not show any RWD applications for this engine. It is down at the bottom of the page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ford_bellhousing_patterns

that's a darn shame - mi Mk1 Cortina Estate would roar along a treat with a 2.5 V6 Mondeo engine in her too :thumb:

Me thinks I need to get a fooked V6 & try some RWD bellhousings & then take it from there :dance:

just use a 24v granny cossie motor if you want a V6 ford engine, they have several boxes that'll fit em already and they are plenty strong.

[RChambers]

MX5 and possibly RX7 gearboxes should fit. Also you should be able to get a gearbox off of a Jag as some use a 3 litre version of the Ford/Mazda V6

in short its a massive job, which will involve totally reengineering almost everything about the car it will cost £££££££ to do, and i'm sorry to say but if you have to ask how its done your never ever going to be able to do it yourself.

it really is a non starter as a project im afraid

I was simply asking the question & just hoping that someone might have a simple solution.....after all there's plenty out there & normally not abad lump if there are no issues......never mind, there's no harm in asking :help:

they use rwd duratec in the jags DOH !!! 3.0 2.5
i've got one in the back of a mk4 fiesta just drops in lol.... not

Correct me if I'm wrong but didnt Andy Rouse race mondeos in the BTCC, using the 4x4 cars but taking off the front drive components!

[graham bahr]

yes but i dont think it was very succesful, i think the extra drive train power losses caused by having twice turn the engines output through 90 fegrees outweighed the benifit of RWD

[BRIGSPORT]

See the reyland website for a 4x4 cossie mondeo. Built by djm,so no,it's not a total non starter.

Sure they have but imo they are gutless engines
I drive one daily n know my vectra 2.0 has much more punch.
A well honed pinto or cossie would be a better bet !

Would be interested to know how that is going

[Pete-MK1]

I have just heard from a guy in America who makes bell housings for the 4 pot Duratec to Type 9 and T5, he does plan on making one for the V6 later in the year
