I went for a "94 2ltr + MT75 gearbox, but some say 1800 is not a lot different. The gearbox choice is either a type 9 or latter MT75. If you are sticking with a standard gearbox ratios then there is little to choose. if you want a longer 1st gear which is nice rather than a "must have" then get the type9 and have new ratios fitted, cost is about £600 for a well done unit.

I have gone for a mark 1 - 2 litre zetec as it gives 135 BHP in standard form, but can be easily upgraded. If you want some reading matter on the subject there are some good articles you could read which are
1. The Ford Zetec article in the October 2003 Which Kit
2. Powerhouse choosing the right engine in the June 2004 Which Kit Car
