Hey mate, not sure if the box will line up the same with a zetec lump compared to a YB, but the mount I have used on my 4x4 Saff converted to 2wd with a T5 uses a mount available from ford. The finis code (ford part number) is 6177696 for the mount, saph with mt75 box £11 or so from Ford. This puts a 2wd box into the 4x4 chassis rails perfectly

pic of the mount:

You will also need a shortened 2wd prop shaft, sure there are a few people knocking around who know where to get one, Paul at North Yorks RS spares might be a good one to ask

Yeh i think thats the one i need

once ive got the gearbox mounted to the engine i need the right mount so it gives my engine the correct possition so it should work out the same position as a standerd escos.

is that from a pinto'd engine'd saph as i know pinto mounts fit a zetec so i may not need to make custom mounts if a use a 2wd cross member
