We had those Bedford panelvans here in South Africa, many of them and they threw all the slant motors out and replaced them with Ford V6 or various V8's.
That must have been an 'interesting' conversion. I had a 1.8 3 speed CF for a while, very quickly updated to a 2.3 4 speed. When that engine grenaded itself on the M1, I tried to fit a Triumph 2.5 PI engine in there, but the carbs needed to be in the same place as my left knee! V8s must have been a similar squeeze.

How did I get the Triumph engine in eventually, you may ask? We put it in the back.............. image
