mk1 Lotus Cortina rep

[wole0911]

Im not sure if this is the right forum as i couldnt find a classic Ford heading anywhere...but ive recently bought a Lotus Twincam engine fully rebuilt and was going to drop it into my early Caterham but have decided to have a go at a mk1 Cortina and creating a 64-65 look Lotus Cortina... ive been offered a 1965 Delux 1200cc and wondered if i should go for a 2000E box {will it fit} or rebuild the box thats in the car..thanx

to be honest im not much of a mechanic so was looking for the easy"st route ..is it a more simple solution to fit a type 9 box than 2000E one...if you wouldnt mind PM me i could do with some advice before i go and buy all the wrong gear...lol
thanx Mark
