The strongest box that should fit straight on is from a Mk3.5 Fiesta Diesel. But, it’s quite high geared so you will get nice relaxed cruising on the Motorway but at the expense of some acceleration.
One from a Fiesta RST with a LSD would also be good but it would only be a B5 not a IB5. Or, one from a Mk5 Escort 1.6 or 1.8 ps Zetec, the later of these have the starter at the rear of the gearbox but a matching starter and a bit of wiring and it will work. Not the 130ps 1.8 XR3I as that had the MTX75 gearbox, completely different. You may have to mess around finding a combination of clutch release bearings and clutch. And don’t go too late or it will have a hydraulic clutch instead of cable. 1995 was about the latest i think. My 2+2 ZVH Turbo and Matthew’s (now Roberts) Zetec turbo are both running Escort Mk5 IB5 gearboxes with Mk4 Escort RST LSD’s fitted into them.

The metal tags are of course missing on both cars. The question now is if the BC box is on the weak side, which gearbox(s) should i be looking for?

I think it will be easier and cheaper to change the box rather than repair it. The question is what is suitable box. This one perhaps :- ebay g/box I would have to swap the bell housing as i have a cable clutch but that shouln't be a big deal. Any observations/suggestions plesase?
