Does anyone know  what 5 speed box fits a v6 essex

You can fit a Type 9 5 speed to an Essex engine (either a 2.0 of a 2.8i box, though the latter needs the 1st motion shaft shortened) but you need the right bell housing to make it work.

I did this in a mk1 3.0 Capri in the mid 90's, pretty sure it was a bell housing from a V4 that I used.
