Hi Welcome
first question, where are you going to put it? front or in the middle? I believe both have been done, if it is in the front I would get your tape measure out from what I remember it is not a very long engine bay.
Best regards
Mike

I did a similar job with my Sherpa, pics here:

Easier than a Transit because it's almost a parts-bin job, but the principle is similar I suspect.

The original Transit was designed around a V4 which was made with it in mind. So engine length is always going to be a problem.
