Hi everybody,

I am a very new mk2 owner. I bought my car just a week ago. I will try my best to renovate this car but unfortunately, I don't have detailed information about my car. A 2-liter Pinto engine, a 4-speed gearbox and a differential is fitted (engine taken from Cortina/Taunus, gearbox taken form Granada - ex-owner said that...).

If I'm not wrong, this gearbox must be Type E, is it?

Thanks...

 

Very nice car mate !! not to sure about your gearbox tho

 

cant member off top of my head, but in front of burton power catalouge it lists all the ford boxes, well a lot of em atleast, think its there!!

 

hi m8 that gearbox looks like a crossflow box cos its all one ie non removable bellhousing

 

Just got a Mk2 as well. In process of restoring! S reg 2.0S, in "RAL" Orange (don't know exatc name of colour). Rear crches replaced already, but needs some more metal around the O/S Leaf Spring... will post pics soon!

 

thats a type2 gear box mate as fitted 2 all non RS mk1and2, type E are similar but hasa removeable bell housing, fitted 2 RS modles

 

I must be mistaken but i have a 1977 MkII 3 litre S which is an R reg` and i thought that 1 was the last of the mark 2`s . Could someone put me right on this 1 please.....Mark Holmes
Take a look at mine anyways
