Type 9 to 1600 CVH
I have a 1600 cvh from an Escort and would like to mate it with a type 9 box. Does anyone have any infromation relating to the flywheel, starter motor
and clutch combination? Specifically from which model Ford the three should be taken.

Flywheels and clutches 3 different solutions
(1) Get existing flywheel redrilled for Sierra clutch --- only possible on later flywheels.
(2) Fit a Sierra 1.8 CVH Flywheel and clutch (
(3) Fit an Escort/Fiesta 1.3/1.4 CVH flywheel and 7.5 inch clutch cover and release bearing from Sierra 4 speed with removeable bell housing and a
Hillman Avenger clutch disc
Option 2 is the simplest but option 3 gives a lower roatating mass.
You will also need a spigot bearing from a Sierra CVH part number Ford finish code 1596468.
Starter motor is standard Sierra 1.8, you will also need the shim plate that fits between the engine and gearbox from a cvh sierra.
The Sump and oil pick up needs modified, and the alternator will need moved..
For a top raddiator hose try one from a Rover 214/414

Good stuff. Just so happens that I've got an 1800cvh too so I think option 2's gonna be the boy. Thanks.
