I think the early diesel had a much bigger bellhousing that will not fit the petrol engines and as it is part of the casing.
Be careful.

The Transit MT75 has a totally different bellhousing pattern and can only be used with an adaptor plate. The integral bellhousing flange where it
bolts to the engine is MASSIVE, and would not package easily in a 7. The ratios are different (lower) and not really suitable for a petrol engine.
So I'd forget it.

The gear casing is the same size as the Sierra- just looks smaller because it doesn't have the gear lever mechanism at the back.
