thanks a lot for the link and answer :-)
2.0 L dohc sierra and granada. Both these are cable clutch. The latter ultima has one that's a hydraulic clutch.
There is the 2.0 L 4wd sierra box as well.
The v6 boxes as said won't bolt to a zetec

Why MT75?
Most people use Type 9's, I do with my Blacktop.
Whilst the MT75 may be ultimately stronger the type 9 has many advantages. For starters its smaller and there are several aftermarket sets of good
gear ratios available that together with upgrades to the laygear make a box that has adequate strength for all but the most powerful turbo engine.
Get an RS2000 alloy bellhousing and any weight advantage the MT75 had evaporates.
ouch , well why a mt 75 :-( its gonna be in a transit mk1 not in a locost, sorry . But you seven guys have the best knowledge about the zetec rwd
swaps, so i hope you dont kick me outh the forum now :-)
No chance of getting kicked out for a 'locost build question'.
Especially as it is petrol power motivated.:-) :-) :-)

As said the transit box is a bit different and unless your sitting in the back you will want a transit box.
no i plan one out of a sierra , the shifter in a mk1 one is anyway quite uncomfy pretty wide infront of the seat. The mt 75 just because it is
stronger then the t9 . If you guys like to hear more about i can tell you what our plans are. We wanna spend the winter in portugal with the car ,then
put it on a ferry to the states (boston )and we wanna cross America before we go to south east asia. Not sure if we can take the car to south east
asia ,but we will inform us by the time we spen in portugal. My mk1 has only 10000 km on it but the v4 is pretty loud and for todays standards a good
choice for a tractor. With the zetec and the 5 speed we can trave at a speed with 100- 120 kmh without any trouble and much better gas mileage.... we
hope so. I dont wanna go to much ot if anyone like to know more i can send him the link of our blog.
As soon i start with the rwd conversion i will updat you guys. :-)
Thanks for any help
well in that case it should be fairly easy to find a box from a sierra, granada or scorpio with a DOHC engine 
just look for the later ones with 2.0 engines
okay thats good news ,thanks a lot
so far i have now all the parts together :-) lets see how this works next week :-)
