As far as i know there's only 2 versions - with the standard and long input shaft versions that were fitted to the 2.8 cars.

er no the previous thread shows that the long input shaft boxes have a higher ratio 1st gear
"That thing you're thinking - it wont be that."

I don't think so!
I believe there are some long input shaft boxes with the less helpful ratios. Diesels? P100?? but never assume long input=close ratio!
I guesss the best way to check is put it in gear and count the turns?

If it's any help the bell housing on the short box is 7" from the gearbox mating surface to the engine mounting surface,
