Never tried, but I see no immediately obvious reason why the gearbox out of a CVH-engined Sierra wouldn't fit.

Isnt the CVH mated to an MTX75? if thats the case it should fall straight onto an MT75 out of a later Sierra.

Pretty much any 4 cylinder gearbox will fit ( except diesel )

Ford used the same bellhousing pattern on them all. Only the V6 models use a larger one.

Starter postion may vary with some, so depends what you are fitting it to.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, this could make for a very cheap source of big (200bhp +) power for kit cars then!!!

i think you can pick up reconned engines for about 1800 quid.
