Cheers Puk - Transit.org forum too?

I really want to try to avoid the bull-nose front if I can and from a brief look at the scrappy I reckon the small diesel is close to the crossflow sort of length.
I'm just hoping that somebody here can point me towards more info. Kit cars use the Zetec mounted front/back rather than side to side so I'm investigating what box they go for.
I'm pretty sure one of the Lotus 7 replica manufacturers built a diesel version using the small ford engine too. Still trying to find out about that one...
So do MT75 boxes and the other rwd 5 speeds have different mountings or would the input shaft be the main problem?
