xe mated to siera box, using a converter from sbd etc, worth looking at kit cars etc, use a siera prop and rear diff?
Manta box? shortened prop?

will it be the right length/width etc.
Can you get custom props made?
I suppose sierra stuff would be the obvious as its fairly readily available because of kit car use.
Escort mk1 or mk2 rear axle I think.
sorry a type 9 ford box, from a pinto (escort mk1,2, sierra etc)
The bellhousing to mate an XE to a type 9 box is quite common and can be bought for about £150ish.
Custom props are also quite a common thing nowadays, and are quite widely available. Do a Google search or something for the best place for this.
With the rear axle, use an Escort mk1/Mk2 item, as they will be roughly the same width as a Nova. Try and find a RS2000 one as they come with a LSD as standard.
cool. cool. Could be next years venture.
Anyone got pics of austins engine bay, inside etc? does the type 9 box leave much room for your feet etc?
sorry mate that i cant help you with.
