If your going to use the car hard the type 9 will die! Mine was a low miler out of a capri and only last a few months.

The lad i bought the car off had already replaced the type 9 box after it blew apart. They are on there limit with the standard 2.8 so its just not an option for me as she will see some hard use when its built. I have heard about the mustang v6 bellhousing working and even found a local lad that might have one,i'm sure the T5 wont mind sitting at a bit of an angle if he will part with it (the car is an 80's fox body 2.8,its a basket case but still complete). Sierra aint getting looked at today,i'm going to put the 1760 x-flow back in my mk1 fiesta cos its a simpler job for a sunday lol
