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

I cant see the Type C here:
https://www.burtonpower.com/tech_support.aspx
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."

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.
