If you try and fit an Essex V6 gearbox to a BOB the input shaft might not be long enough as the when fitting a type 9 to the Essex the input shaft needs to be shortened.
Did you not get any 2.8i Granadas or Capris you could get a gearbox from out there ?
Thanks Mark
I'll have to check for maybe a very old one. Mostly the Granada's here, 2.0L, 3.0L v6 and 3.4L
The Cortina as well, very much similar
Will look into Capris but not easily found.
Cheers
