Browse 2017 Ford Transit sub-models
The 2017 Ford Transit full-size van runs the 3.7L Ti-VCT V6 (base, gas), the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 (high-output, gas), or the 3.2L Power Stroke turbo-diesel inline-5. Transit Connect uses either the 2.5L Duratec inline-4 or the 1.6L EcoBoost. Each engine family has a distinct VIN 8th-digit code — match the donor exactly.
Why Buy a 2017 Ford Transit Engine from Auto Power Source
The 2017 Ford Transit lineup is unusually varied. The full-size Transit offers three powertrains (3.7L V6, 3.5L EcoBoost V6, 3.2L Power Stroke I5), while the smaller Transit Connect uses one of two four-cylinders. Roof height, wheelbase, and chassis-cab vs cargo body don't change the engine family but do change accessory drives and emissions calibration. Always order against the donor VIN to capture the correct ECM mapping.
Our 13 verified 2017 Transit engines have been pulled from low-mileage donor vehicles, cataloged by VIN, and held in our climate-controlled warehouse pending sale. Each unit went through our six-step inspection — VIN-matching, ASE testing, noise & smoke verification, full visual inspection, multi-angle photography, and palletized shipping. Our ASE-certified technicians do the testing; rejected units never reach the buyer.
You pay a fraction of dealer-new pricing for identical Ford engineering, ship free on a heavy-duty pallet anywhere in the continental U.S., and have 30 days from delivery to return for any reason — no restocking fees. Up to a 3-year warranty covers you if anything goes wrong after install.

2017 Ford Transit Engine Buying Guide
Five things to verify before buying a 2017 Ford Transit engine:
-
Match the engine code by VIN 8th digit. Transit full-size offers three engines; Transit Connect offers two. Mismatched codes won't bolt up cleanly.
-
Distinguish full-size Transit from Transit Connect. These are completely different platforms. Don't confuse the 3.7L V6 (Transit) with the 2.5L Duratec (Transit Connect).
-
For the 3.2L Power Stroke, ask about EGR and DPF state. DPF-deleted units cannot be sold or installed legally. We verify both before shipping.
-
Confirm cargo van vs chassis cab vs passenger. Accessory drives and harnesses differ across body styles.
-
Verify high-output vs standard EcoBoost. The 3.5L EcoBoost HO and standard 3.5L EcoBoost share displacement but differ in turbo plumbing and engine internals.
Our ASE-certified technicians verify every one of these points against your VIN before any engine ships.
