AFAIK the 4 age isnt that common in the UK and is likely to be found with a FWD gearbox. And T50 boxes are supposedly RARE.
Old sports cars (mr2 , mx5/miata) never go cheap unless a heap of rust, so that only really leaves MR2 mk1 rust buckets as a secondary source - but
then they still have wrong box unless you are going mid engined. Most kits are not.
Aus is a different story, they tend to be forced into them due to emissions rules.
when sierras are free, and many kits are based on them, there is a lot in the UK to discourage the use of 4AGE.

I ticked the K series!
My build will probably start off with the sierra DOHC engine from the donor, but I do intend to fit a K series - maybe initially if one comes along,
only thing then is that I will be more likely to end up with a Q plate which I don't want.
