Can anybody tell me which T5 is fitted to the tiff? Is it a ford USA item or a UK part?

Isn't 'The Tiff' the Fifth Gear equivalent of Top Gears 'The Stig'?

Borg Warner. As fitted to Ford Cossies and other high-torque velocipedes. Probably made in Germany? Dunno.

Well, I'm really after part numbers for the Tiff box. I can get US T5's easily enough and I want to fit one onto an LS1 to save on cost for a T56. An LS1 T56 costs a bundle and they aren't readily available used. If I can mate the LS1 to a Tiff T5 then somebody will save 7 odd stone and a couple of thousand dollars. I have chev T5's and Ford t5's. Does anybody know if the tiff has a chev or ford spline pattern on the friction plate? Then I can source the good boxes.
