My mates brother done the same thing to his transit it was only the 302ci small block lump from a mustang he pulled his speed boat with it but it was a laugh racing people in it. Looks like a big block in that one.

Don't you believe it mate - Ford's Transit Supervan was fitted with a 650hp Cosworth F1 engine fitted on a race chassis and was clocked at 174mph at Silverstone back in the 80s !  :y
