Cortina Gearbox into Anglia
Posted: Sat Jun 06, 2009 5:12 pm
Hi all
I am currently restoring an Anglia and am doing a 1600 crossflow convertion
I remember from my Anglia racing days, back in the UK, that we normally used a 2000E gearbox which fitted without to much problem. These are, obviosly fairly hard to find these days so does anyone know if a gearbox from a Cortina MK2 1600 E will fit.
The 2000E box had the shifter mounted at the back of the Tail Shaft Housing and the three selector rails ran inside the tail shaft. The 1600E box is a single rail selector which runs in it's own housing above the Tail Shaft Housing and i am wondering if this will fit without having to modify the Transmision Tunnel,
If anyone has any info i would greatly appreciate it.
Cheers all
