  3. No they are differant and the input shaft on a v6 box is longer as well and will need machining down to fit, if it is the H/D V6 box an RS B/H will not fit without modifying it to clear the H/D bearing cover.

Not since Ray Berry died, he used to organise the cortina meet there, it was going for 5 years or so till he became ill sometime in 2009, there was a memorial cortina eve for him last year in June i think it was TBH there was rarely enough cortinas to fill the car park so it ended up a all ford night towards the end

  19. Rather confusingly the Duratec is called the I4 as well by Ford, then they like to confuse everyone by using the Zetec name willy nilly and calling Zetec's Duratecs! Martin Bird had an I4 in his Anglia too that went rather well, though cant remember whether that was the 8V version or the 16V. The pinto was also called the I4, pinto is a nickname, I4 stands for inline 4 cyl If you call it a twink most peeps know what you meen though , except old gits who'll assume you meen a lotus
