I have spotted this on ebay and the price seems reasonable. I'm not sure whether this would be the correct 5 speed box for a conversion on my Morris 1000?
I appreciate I would still need a bag of other bits, modified bell housing, cross member etc. but does anyone know if this is the correct box a base?

Both the V6 and diesel type 9's have the longer input shaft. This is okay if the V6 as it can be machined down to the correct length. The ratio's of the V6 would not suit the 1098cc but might be okay with a 1275 or greater derivative.We always use the V6 type 9 with a 1.8K series. The Diesel unit should not be used.

Hi,
just to add a tiny bit to the info given. This is taken from a previous post of mine.
The input shaft length varied depending whether it was a standard, diesel or heavy duty type, this is a bit generalized but will do for these purposes:
The standard 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 models had a short input shaft about 6.9 inches from the front face of the gearbox. This is probably the best one for the Minor.
The 2.8, 2.9 and V6 models had a long input shaft about 8.1 inches from the front gearbox face. These also had a long front cover and mostly (not all) heavier duty bearings.
The diesel gearboxes also had a long input shaft (8.1 inches) but with a short front cover.
There were other differences and some variations to this but it a pretty good guide.
The 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 boxes were good up to about 140 – 150 bhp so this is probably the best one for a minor. I’d avoid the longer input shaft type except for higher bhp or special applications.
Right back into the shoe box now.
Regards,
Wal
