Any information on fitting 5 speed gear box on this engine. Mine is not standard,and has eaten original box. Cost is an issue so cossie box out of question.

hi friend
haven't done any customising myself, but with a fairly large exp with fords over the years i truly believe that shouldn't give you any probs. if you use ford box they are usualy very compatible. if you need further assurance then make a cardboard template of bellhousing to see if it matches potential purchase, also measure box for obvious reasons ( prop & cross member matching ), take clutch plate to match splines, etc, etc. make these checks for your own peace of mind ( & your pocket ) as if you're buying from a breaker, some are not very reputable & won't give a refund if box is wrong, in other words the gits rip you off & i hate that , don't you mate. best of luck & let me know how you get on, regards dj dave.
