By the way I built a similar motor to yours in a mk 1 i had using a 1600 ohc head, fr32 cam, twin 45s on a 2litre bottom end with sierra 5 spd and 4.1 ratio diff. Awesome fun to drive Anyway good luck with the build and thanks for any info on the gearbox.

G'day mate.
My transmission is just the std manual 4 speed that is found on all Australian 1600 and 2L Escorts, although the RS has a quick shifter. They can be had very cheaply in wreckers or on ebay, and they are pretty tough! I have four for my rally car as well, there are still four because none have ever broken (yet anyway). Mostly it's the nylon thread on the shifters that can break.
That's about all the info I have on it, but if you want more info check out the classic ford forum (
www.classicford.mine.nu) as the guys there know everything about the Escorts!
