I was once told that there was a higher torque version of the type 9 - used on some of the Ford 2.8 engines. The same guy told me that these could be discerned by the longer input shaft.
I hope that's correct in case anyone is interested, but I'm not sure as it's nothing I've dealt with myself.[/quote]
Yep, the V6 Type 9 does have a longer input shaft.
200 bhp is the very limit for a Type 9.
The MT 75 is stronger and can take more horsepower which is why Ford used it on the 4x4 Cosworth.
BTW
The blue 'Stoke'
4x4 Cosworth Minor uses an mt 75 gearbox and this has well over 400 bhp!!!
