Default Help required please
Hi, I am new here and I have to be honest I am here because I need help. I am building a kit car that is rear wheel drive. I want to put an Escort Mk 5 RS 2000 engine in but its has a front wheel drive gearbox. Is there a rear wheel drive gearbox I can get that will fit this engine and if there is what is it?
Please excuse the style of writing, I am a girl and am trying to sound somewhat knowledgeable!!!!!!

Thanks in advance
