Not sure if you're still in market, but you can buy a premade adapter for the 3.0 and 4.0 to use stock transmission with a 1.9 TDI. It's spendy at $600, but for people who don't have proper tools, know-how, or time to manually do everything, it's nothing less than perfect.
I'd assume 1/4" because he was talking about the engine being spaced 1/4" from the trans with the finished adapter. I assume he would mock it up with plexiglass with the same thickness just for consistency. I know I would.
+Chris Henniker Possibly. I am not sure if the VW Diesel and Gasoline engines share the same bellhousing. Seems to me that the process would be the same, though.
Why? Plenty of GOOD ford gas motors, not many small diesels. Short track racing, the fastest cars/engines are 2.3 ford but diesels? VW has a very good one that has good high revs.good longevity wrecking yards full of them= cheap used parts That's why people use them, not because of the VW badging or name.
thinking about doing this as well.. is it possible to do it to an automatic ranger?
Yes but I don’t think I would use the ranger auto bc they aren’t great transmissions from what I have heard
We can hang out anytime, great job.
Thanks. :-)
These bolt patterns are available online....
Any chance you could point the way? I've been looking for the Lima 2.3 & Vulcan 4.0 but haven't found anything.
Not sure if you keep up on this anymore, but, really interested in doing this swap in my 94 3.0 5speed ranger. ANY info would be greatly appreciated

@@Dude13450 always, where did you find that at?
@@LILjwjethroyeah please I want to know also
A 2.3 M50D transmission does work.
Does it work better than the V6 bellhousing patterns?
Haha brilliant idea use perspex why the hell did I not think of this

Hey how thick of plexus glass are you using?
I'd assume 1/4" because he was talking about the engine being spaced 1/4" from the trans with the finished adapter. I assume he would mock it up with plexiglass with the same thickness just for consistency. I know I would.
Would this work with a petrol engine? I think the VW petrol engine would be great for a hot rod.

The bell housings are the exact same in all mk4 VW except the vr6
