D12 Turbo Auto
I've been offered a 2.1 12v turbo diesel from an XM complete with an autobox that drove well before the car was broken for spares.
A quick chat with Vanny has got us thinking if its possible to fit this combo in a BX?
The D12 conversion has been done but what about the autobox?
I'm guessing that the Doc might be able to answer this.....

In short, er, no!
What autobox is it? Are we talking the ZF, or the auto adaptive thing found in the later ones??
Either way, fitting that lot into the engine bay of a BX would require a gearbox mount being made, assuming you could actually get the lump in the car at all, which would be BLOODY tight, then of course you'd have to think about the shafts, which is not insurmountable, but would be difficult.
I like the engine idea, I'm gona build up a 2.1 for mine, but unless it's the ZF box and you're prepared for some engineering work to the shell and shafts, probably best left alone really.
Sorry mate..
Thats not to say it couldn't be done, but it would be anything other than a straight swop...

Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!
Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

Well it would be an interesting engineering project, but alot of effort really..
If the missus likes her BX (and you found a keeper there Ian!) I'd really just whap another engine in the BX you got, better the devil you know etc....
