MT75 gearbox

Not sure where to find out so...

I assume a Ford MT75 (5 speed) gearbox will NOT fit a 1600 Pinto, is that correct? Any way of using it in a Locost, or shouldn't I bother?

it will fit the engine, it may be tight to get it in the car.

The MT75 has an even lower first gear ratio than the type 9 so you wont be using first effectively giving you a four speed box.
