No you cannot use your box as it it. I'm guessing you have the mt75 box in ATM so u can modifie it to work. You need the bell housing and input shaft from an mt75 4x4 box. Or you can get a type9 v6 box. Is the engine boa or bob? As far as I'm aware bob is abit harder to sort the loom but not knowing a lot about wireing I'm not to sure but some one on hear will help you with that. I've just put a boa in my 3door so If you need any help let me know

Is it a 2.9 type 9 tho? If the input shaft does not stick out the face of the bell housing around 1" it's not the correct type. I'll get someone's number regarding the wireing. Heel sort it all for you

there isnt much wiring needed to run these engines - prob about 4 wires or something.

you can use your existing rad/fans and some hoses too. I would try and stick with the MT75 box you have already as used on the twincam as they are stronger than the type 9, just need the appropriate bellhousing and input shaft as stated already.

Rev counter will need modding too as that wont work unless you graft the one from the granada into your instrument cluster.

Prop will more than likely be the same as the twincam too
