Are 1.8 focus gearbox's the same as a 2.0 focus? Iv got all the parts to do a mtx75 conversion other then the box and cables and need to know if a 1.8 box would fit?

Focus 1.8 is fitted with IB5 gearbox.
Focus 2.0 is fitted with MTX-75 gearbox.
NOT the same gearbox and not a direct swap without quite a few other bits.

Been doin a lot of digging and found that the mtx75 out of
Mk1 focus rs 1st 3.23* 2nd 2.13 3rd 1.48 4th 1.11* 5th 0.85* f-d 3.82
Mk1 2.0 focus *1st 3.41 2nd 2.13 3rd 1.48 4th 1.11 5th 0.85 f-d 4.06.
Mk1 1.8 tdi focus (66kw) 1st 3.66 2nd 2.04 3rd 1.12 4th 0.86 5th 0.67 f-d 3.56
Mk1 1.8tdi focus(74kw) 1st 3.66 2nd 2.13 3rd 1.44 4th 1.02 5th 0.76 f-d 3.41
Early mondeos
(Im only looking into cable leavers)
All fit but them gear ratios mean absolutely nothing to me lol! So what gearbox is bet suited for a 350bhp zt mainly for road use? Is there a massive difference to how each box would make the car drive? Im tryin to stay away from the frs because of the cost and mainly the speedo issue

I've got a diesel MTX75 you can have for free if you come and get it.
It'd make for a very high top speed with 350hp and high petrol revs pushing it!
