Marty, The 2.3 roller rockers are used when changing the 2.0 to a roller setup with the long stem valves. You are correct that they will not work with a standard cam/follower setup.

Seems that in the US the Merkur XR4Ti used a T9 gearbox and it run with 175hp at the wheels and 12-14psi of boost.

And the mustang SVO turbo coupe used a T-5 the same box found in E series falcons. That would be convent as i have a E series falcon box in the back yard.

Just posting this so someone can let me know if im thinking wrong.

I just finished putting a 2.3L in a Mk1 escort about 2 years ago. I thought it was the same as the 2L and would fit straight in... But i was wrong!! But ended up getting it in there with a heap of mods.

I will try and put a pic up.
