If there are no driveshaft joints fitted you can also just look through the hole in the gearbox. If theres a driveshaft sized hole right through with the smaller diff shaft crossing it at right angles then it’s an ordinary diff. If theres only about 10mm dia hole through then it’s a Ford LSD
I don’t know what aftermarket diffs look like though.

Plus I have to admit that I can't remember and haven't even been near them in over a year! Will be heading over to the storage unit in the next few days and will have a check, sure there are some other bits I have forgotten. For starters, I fortgot to say that the Specialised engine was removed from a MK3 show Fiesta so is essentially ready to drop in to a Quantum, has a yellow painted block and has red Piper timing vernier pulleys that are also over £200 new.

I purchased a stage 2 tuned Specialized Engines 2L Zetec silver top from a friend who was breaking a show car to put in my partners H4 ages ago, but she crashed a different car and decided more power in the H4 was not a good idea. It has sat moth balled, along with a stainless manifold, gearbox which 'apparently' has an LSD in it but one broken lug AND a low mileage 2L zetec complete with ECU which I acquired just in case for the last 4yrs. The Specialized engine was apparently built on a new block and had only covered 12k miles, have no reason to doubt but no receipts either. Whole lot can be had for £600, manifold with heat wrap is worth £200 alone!

There are lots of Blacktop engines available with sensible miles and cost, but low mileage Sivertops are not so easy to come by. I have looked at lots of info on the internet and so I have a reasonably good idea of the work involved in the swop. However I am not sure if the Blacktop is going to present more difficulties in fitting than the Silvertop, could anyone give advice on this?
