Type 9 I would have thought, easily modified when you can afford it, they do come up for sale on here sometimes
Must try harder

Type 9 from a 2.8 capri or similar might be a good choice as you'll get a slightly longer 1st
advantage of the type 9 is you can always buy a better gear set for it when funds allow
The manta box will also do it but i think their getting a bit rarer now ?

Omega box can be used also but think they are quiet big.

Type nine with an adapter bellhousing. or Manta box. Omega box is big and wide.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Simplest is the manta getrag box but also the weakest.
Best option is the type 9 with alloy conversion belhousing. This option also allows you to have hydraulic clutch easily. You use the xe clutch
pressure plate with ford friction disc and ford bearing I believe.

Needs to be a 1.8l engined box not the 2.0l

Think the vauxhall carlton also had the 5sp getrag gearbox fitted.
