I wil be the Ford type nine I expect.  The problem will be getting a

Moss has  a 5 speed kit available. Call them to find out what 5 speed 
they use...  say some sort of Ford lump, then find the automatic from 
the same model  car. Maybe the adapter bit from Moss, or their 
supplier, will allow the AT  to bolt up.

Or, just put in a Volvo B18 engine with the BWT35 AT, as  was done in 
decades past.
