Okay so i have bought a half built project with a cortina axle fitted, type 9 box and 1600 pinto loosely fitted
Not sure if the pintos the way to go cause or weight etc
What other engine choices do I have if I want to keep the type 9 box?
Or will the pinto give a resonable performance
I don't really want to start having to get involved with cats and adpator plates if I can help it?
What other engines bolt straight on to the type 9 box
Zetec

Almost any 4 cylinder Ford bolts to a type 9 -- up and including a Zetec.
If you want to pay money for a bellhousing it opens the choice to Rovers and Vauxhall/Opel engines. And of course there is also the excellent
Toyota.
If you want performance above all else there is the bike engine option.
