Fuck thats a deal for 300 odd $. Quickrack yumm. They have shit lock for a rwd car.

Also I think an escort box might be a bit weak. Aparently the boxes behind the 1600/1500s in the cortinas was a bit gruntier as the car was heavier.

not all mk3 crossflow boxes are close ratio, it was more near the end of production ford had all these 1300 crossflow motors and close ratio boxes left over...... with mk2s it depends if its a series one of series two car (66-68 ser1 and 69-70 ser2) the series1 has a singe rail box and the series2 has a 3rail box same as the close ratio found in late mk3s.....

best thing to do is check the model numbers against a parts book to see if its close ratio or not...

that burnt out mk2 looks like it has some good parts left on it...... if you need anything parts wise i have a fleet of mk2s...... may have things you need.....

I was meaning the cortina box in general was better than the escort box. Somewhere above it was said he was gonna chuck an escort box in i think.

Supose you might as well find a close ratio one tho.

When I change to floor shift im going to be going with the sierra 5 speed. The diff ratios in those cars are so shit. Need the five speed to sort it out. Plus i got extra 5 speed boxes from the esky
