I have a type 9 5 speed in my car and have done for 5 years now perfect for road and a bit of acceleration if you fit a 4 4 or a 4 1 diff But if you are going to fit a 5 speed I recommend fitting a bigger tunnel as it makes life easier.

Were going type 9 5-speed in the RS, the 4-speeds ace for acceleration, but motorway speeds, it just just sits rev's the n*ts off

 

Deffo needs 1 more gear for motorway use

The 2.0 (cortina and RS2000) 4 speed box (type E) uses the exact same first 4 ratios as the type 9 so makes no differance to accel at all, the type 2 and 3 ( Xflow escort and 1.6 pinto) have closer ratios though

Im looking for a rocket box too, hard to find these days. If you dont do motorway journeys then a 4 speed is best for street and strip, plus the type 9 is heavier
