Hi

I've got a Type C 4 speed gearbox i'm planning on using with my pinto

Does any one know if this is a good box to use or am I wasting my time and should be looking for a type 9

Thanks

I cant see the Type C here:

But one of those articles probably mentions it. What car did it come out of?

The Type C box is out of a Cortina

Heres the info found on Rob Lanes Site

"There is also a hybrid 4 speed gearbox known as type C or 'single rail' fitted to early Sierras and fitted to the Mk3 Capri with Pinto engine. The ratios are better spaced than the Escort 4 speed and the box is capable of taking more engine bhp. This box looks like the Escort box but longer and is distinguished by the 'bolt on' bellhousing as opposed to cast one piece. The gearlever is screw in as per 4 speed and the gearlever position is further back than most of the others."
