Default MTX75 box S2 turbo conversion help please.

Anybody know what needs to be done to mount this box to a CVH? All other aspects such as driveshafts etc are covered. Just need to know how to mount the bugger. Also, what's the elctrical connection at the top?

One more question. What clutches will I be able to use. I'm currently using a 4 paddle clutch and my current engine is a Zetec bottom end. New engine is a CVH.

im doing a zetec turbo conversion to my escort rs s2 at the moment and iv used a mtx75 out of a rs2000 i dnt knw what box you are using. i had to get a 5 paddle cermamic metallic clutch made for me to fit my fly wheel and to fit in the bellhousing, for £230 nand they rtefaced my fly wheel. you will also need to make custom engine mounts. The spline on the mtx75 is much bigger than the standard turbo box so also you will need a differnt clutch. as for drive shafts im not sure what im gunna do yet but i might end up haveing to buy custom shafts and they aint cheap .
hope this helps abit mate

It's a diesel box with a quaiffe atb diff. It's come off an S1. Why do I need to make custom engine mounts? I understand custom gearbox mounts but engine mounts? Do I need to move the engine? To help you with the driveshafts, the one I'm getting has used the original driveshafts which have been properly machined to fit. Which company made your clutch?
