Gearbox change

Hi guys, need advice!!

Taken my 4 speed box out my car with a pinto 2.0L engine. Want to put in a 5 speed.

the prop has 20 splines and the clutch has 20 splines also.

If you know of one going that will fit, or what i need to change to make one fit, let me know!!

The gearbox mounting point is further to the rear on a 5 speed.
If your 4 speed box has 20 spline 7/8" out put then it's a type E box
Fitting the 5 speed type 9 will require a new clutch cover, driven plate and thrust bearing.
New gearbox mount and mounting point on the chassis moved back.
Propshaft shortened and new output splines to match new gearbox
