Yes, that's me. The Endura-DE engine conversion. All the mechanical work is now done, just got wiring loom to sort out/ replace and the turbo/intercooler air pipes to fit. As Jim says, I had to use a remote filter head and oil cooler because the stock items would have sat right where the steering rack passes through. This required some careful cutting, machining and tapping of the existing oil pump housing to get oil pipes into it.
The engine + box sits within 1/4" of each side of the bay (AFTER widening the bay!) I don't think an MTX75 box would fit (the 5sp one off my donor Mondeo certainly wouldn't). BTW a quick google reveals top gear on the Ford/Getrag 6 speed box to be 1.09:1 Which as far as I can see is near as dammit the 1:1 for 4th gear on most standard boxes. So what's the advantage of 6 gears? Tony Vincent.
