Sounds like it used the three litre essex engine that was offered as an option in ambulances,fire engines and anything that wanted more power than the standard offerings- later the 2.8/2.9 Fog v6 was used.At one time the saloon car record round the Full Nurburgring circuit was held by a Capri with a 2.9 V6.
If you are talking about the Transit in the 'Ring video, it uses the 2.4 'Duratorq' turbo diesel.
TBH, as far as I am aware, the only petrol offered in this era of transit (in this country anyway) was the 2.3 4 cyl as used in the Granada/Scorpio and early Galaxy. It makes about 145bhp, but if fitted to a Transit, would most likely be converted to LPG.
