No matter the age - go injection! Balancing triple SU’s on an MG cured me of carbs forever! Although - having 4 Amals on a Mini was kinda fun… (had to ‘tickle’ them to start it first thing…)
I have no objection to adding power steering either - or disc brakes!
Got all that but carbs it was & big rims & tires, disc brakes, suspension and line locks and headers and exhaust and you name it. Big engine … $$
I’d rock a mid to late 50’s Chevy Nomad with an injected big block…
How about this one?
I mean, you could AT LEAST go get me a towel if you’re posting stuff like that…
Why are you sweating? 
My undies are a bit sticky now…
Sorry for outing myself as a bit of a petrolhead:
Ford Transit Mk I, 1968, frankensteined, with Ford V6 3l Essex engine, disc brakes all around, low profile tyres, mag rims, updated suspension, fresh paintjob and and and … and on its way to become a nice little camper and wheelchair transport for my hubby.
… at the panelbeaters.
… until recently.
Love that thing to bits!
Ford Econoline is one of my favorite cars.
This model:
That model existed between 1969 and 1974. I like Ford Transit too.
When you get something like that right, it get a special place in your heart and memories. Congrats on the effort so far (especially the mechanical boosts!)
What’s the mpg like with that 3L? It’s not exactly a plug-in hybrid! 
I didn’t dare looking/calculating. It’s kinda hard since I don’t have a tachometer and can’t find the cables for it. I guess the instruments panel is from an old Ford Capri and the only thing working there is the rev counter. So I got the multinstrument off a motorcycle installed now but haven’t filled up since then.
It’s all a bit haphazard with my Fordenstein. 
Yes, you got the Econoline, while the rest of the world was dabbling with the Transit. Born from a British/German cooperation in 1965 to replace their aging earlier vans, the Mk 1 was built until 1970, then the Mk II up to 1978 and then in a quick succession came more Tansits and we’re now on Mk 8 or so …
Bestest driving van ever. Better than the Mercedes Sprinter and the “Eurovan” as I call it. I dunno where it’s built but it goes as Fiat, Peugeot, Citroen, Renault, Talbot, Vauxhall, Opel and … RAM ProMaster I guess. Superb for RV conversion but drives like a lorry.
Ugh…not sure why it replied to this thread instead of the other one -_-.
Regarding the Eurovan - they use to be:
The **Eurovans** are a family of [large MPVs] from the [Citroën], [Peugeot], [Fiat], [Lancia] marques that were produced at the jointly owned [Sevel Nord] factory in France.
Probably still are - but at least they are well-supported (in theory).
They are Iveco They stormed on the market when Iveco bought Ford trucks, They were not interested in the car derived transit. Iveco was interested in the larger Merc vans market. On the truck side they totally dumped Fiat trucks and Ford truck and replaced the lot with the Iveco brand, Iveco for the large trucks Iveco Ford for the light ones, set the goal posts very high aiming at the Merc market using British design and styling. Ford trucks were really struggling not with design but under-powered so Iveco broke the Merc monopoly in the EU.
Sprinter wise they are great vehicles depending on the model used in the UK by the Delivery companies Ford transits fail as the engines are designed for Cars not commercials they just are not strong enough as they have not been since the birth of the transit.
But when you look close at the Iveco vans, they are 100% identical with Fiat Ducato and the other It/Fr/UK/Jap vans. They’re all made at the same plant somewhere in East Europe. That’s why I call the whole bunch Eurovan.
And yes, the early Transits had small weaklish engines, they were pure urban transporters. But nowadays I guess the Transit isn’t just the best to drive but also strong.
Anyways, I’m gonna stick a 80 km/h sticker in my back window, so ppl won’t be so pushy. I know my museum piece reaches 120 with ease but it’s loud and uncomfy and slurps up a lot of the good juice. And I’m never in any particular hurry anyway. In the city I do traffic light sprints with the best of 'em, that’s enough for me.
Interestingly enough, Ford have brought the Transit name over ‘here’ (North America) at last - with 2 versions. They have a “Transit Connect” for the ‘smaller’ use cases:
and the Ford Transit for ‘full size’:
which replaced the E-series Econolines. Apparently they sell well too! But, I’d rather have yours! 
Yes, it’s the European models. Don’t wanna brag but they are, as always, pretty much advanced over the 'murican cars. 
Honestly, I so wish we had your 6 and 7 liter engines. Just for the fun.
There’s always the RAM pickups over there! Of course, I understand most of them have the diesel versions in that size
(and I can’t imagine driving one over there - much preferred the Mini! - especially on Lake District single-tracks - a lot easier to power reverse to the just-passed layby!)
