oldwheels Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Unable to find a reasonable priced Ford type E gearbox, Is a Type 3 gearbox a sensible alternative engine I am running is a 2 litre pinto, car a Mk2 Escort. Also how do you identify type E Gearbox and type 3 Gearbox, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeigeAl Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 I think the later Type 3 (there are two types of type 3 gearbox) was the only one fitted to a pinto and as far as I know it was only on the 1.6litre pinto. I wouldn't fit a type 3 behind a 2litre pinto. Not an overly strong gearbox. Certainly not as strong as a Type E. In my opinion if you're going to fit a type E jut fit a type 9 instead.

deltamal Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Type 9 would be best, Ive got them in my 2.'0 Cortina Crusader and Mk 3 2.9 Cortina, also the benefit of a 5th gear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
