a diesel box will fit straight in with no modifications-same as a fiesta 1.1 box will!
as for swapping diff thats a strip down on the bench job and you'll need a fifth gear puller to remove fifth and separate box.

Stick with an RST box mate the Diesel unit is no tougher.
Contact Bernie at www.gearboxman.co.uk he's cheaper than you may think and his boxes are of excellent standard.

Is the Diesel box geared different to the RS box??
Diesel engines have a much lower RPM limit so surely they are geared higher??
So using a diesel box gives no strength advantages but could give top speed advantages??
