  • Maybe a stupid question?? Engine Transplant

    Now that the Monty is almost finished being renovated, I have a slight problem. The engine and box need a bit of work and it got me thinking about an alternative power unit, does anyone know if a ZT190 engine and box would fit, any issues I should be thinking about.

    I don't know of anyone who has tried to fit the V6 under the bonnet of a Monty. The usual method was to use the 2 litre rover T or M series engines. These used effectively the same block as the O series so gearbox (and therefore drive shafts) and most engine mounts would fit.
    Good luck!

      There were a 100 odd Montego mules running with the K series engine, not sure how much bigger the V6 is? You certinally need to mod the MGF engine bay!
