Engines for Ford Transit

What You Need to Know Before Buying Ford Transit Complete Engines

The Ford Transit's engine is the heart and soul of your vehicle. When it malfunctions, it may be time to replace it. Or you might be a budding mechanic and decide that you want to rebuild your Ford Transit all by yourself, so you need to buy a Transit engine from eBay.

There are three main types of Ford Transit engines. Your Ford Transit cargo van can be fitted with a twin-turbo 310 HP V6 engine, a five-cylinder engine, or a 275 HP V6 engine. The five-cylinder engine is the most powerful because it's diesel powered and can reach a torque measurement of 350lb-feet. The Ford MK7 Transit engine is commonly a Ford Transit 2.4 diesel engine, but there are 2.2 and 2.3 variants as well. All recent Ford engines, even the Ford Transit 2007 engine, are linked to an automatic transmission. Only the newest models have all-wheel drive. Your Ford Transit 2.4 engine will most likely have rear-wheel drive. When looking for a new engine, it's important to know which kind you have and what you might need.

Purchasing used Ford Transit engines for sale can be a valuable investment. Whether you're replacing your existing engine or modifying your Ford Transit van, here are the factors you should consider when buying a Ford Transit complete engine:

• Compatibility - Ford Transit engines differ in vehicle compatibility based on the year of manufacture. Older engines may not be compatible with newer cars, or vice-versa. That's why eBay has a tool that allows you to enter your vehicle's information and find the Ford Transit complete engines and engine parts that will work with your vehicle. Check the manufacturer's site for details.
• Salvaged versus rebuilt - Ford Transit engines weren't originally sold separately. If the Ford Transit engine is recovered from a vehicle, then it could be in good or great condition, even if it's been previously used. Rebuilt engines can have features that are superior to those of salvaged engines, but you should verify that every component is in good condition.
• Long block engines - Long block engines are the most common form of complete engines and are used for total engine replacements. Short block engines are meant to be installed around already existing engine parts.

Look through eBay's many Ford Transit engines to find the one you need. These include the 2.4 Duratorq, the Ford Transit 2.4 diesel engine, and the Ford Transit 2.2 TDCI engine. Many of the listings detail the exact engine components that will be sold, like pistons, gaskets, and oil seals.
