Engines Which Fit A Type 9 Or Mt75 Gearbox

[Guest Ant]

Does anyone know which of Ford's Diesel engines can be mated to a type 9 or MT75 gearbox? Can any of them? Did Sierra / Granada diesels have a different box all together?

Hi Ant,

Not thinking of fitting an oil burner tou your hood are you?

I quite fancy having one of the VW 150 Bhp Turbo diesels in mine. Just think 50 MPG and acceleration like mad in any gear (as long as you can live with the tractor noise from the engine comp)

[Guest Ant]

I'm not thinking of putting one in _my_ hood, no.

 

Any advice on gearboxes? Is a Diesel Sierra a suitable option as a donor?

Don't knwo the answer to your question Ant, but on a different topic, I am in Nottingham on Tuesday and Wed next week. If the weather is fair I'll be coming up in the hood one day. I work at ZF oppsoite the new Vauxhall dealer on the ring road if you fancy popping in.

[Guest Ant]

I may not be in for one of those days as I have a funeral to go to. Let me know when you've decided.

1.6 and 1.8 diesels will fit with no mods required or the sierra 2.3 d will fit also

[Guest Ant]

Cheers Rizla. When you say "fit" do you mean onto a standard type 9 box? Are the ratios the same? Any ideas on bonnet clearance? Chassis mods?

no idea on the clearence etc,but westfield a few years ago fitted a 1.8 turbo d in a demo car just to prove a point,i cant remember the tv show i saw it on,could have been top gear,but damn that thing went well(for a diesel)

 

and yes they fit a standard bell housing pattern type 9 box
