If the 1293 you speak of was a bored out 1275 cc "A" series engine those are neat little engines (I have a couple old Morris Minors outback)

It would be way easier to get a good running 6.2 / 6.5 truck since they are roughly the same price as the Fords. I had a stepvan with the 6.2 and aside of putting glow plugs, controller and a starter, it was a good engine. Misunderstood, but good.
If I were to do it again, I'd put a set of 2.73s or 3.08s and a turbo on one, in a 2wd Suburban ( half ton )
