Looks separate, but I don't know if the C3 and the Type 9 share the same
bolt pattern.

Yep, anything that had a Type 9 will have had the Ford auto box though
the problem will still be getting a flex plate for the crank. I'll bet
it's cheaper to swap a 1500 Triumph/MG 1300/1500 engine and auto box
complete than have a bespoke crank made.
Also, does the Ford Auto have an integral bellhousing? I ask this
because the kits for the Ford Type 9 box are generally based on a hybrid
bellhousing.

According to Wikipedia, the Merkur XR4Ti (the Ford Sirerra sold
in the US market) used Ford's C3:
"The XR4Ti was distinguished mechanically by its turbocharged

<http://mail.alum.rpi.edu/wiki/Ford_Pinto_engine#2.3_OHC> 2.3 L
4-cylinder <http://mail.alum.rpi.edu/wiki/Straight-4> SOHC engine and
independent rear suspension, and stylistically by its large bi-plane
spoiler (replaced in later years with a single rear spoiler). It came
with either the C3 <http://mail.alum.rpi.edu/wiki/Ford_C3_transmission>
3-speed automatic transmission
<http://mail.alum.rpi.edu/wiki/Automatic_transmission> or the Ford Type
9 <http://mail.alum.rpi.edu/wiki/Type_9> , 5-speed manual transmission
<http://mail.alum.rpi.edu/wiki/Manual_transmission> ."
I'd expect C3s are easy to find, used Pintos and early (pre-86)
Fox bodies (Mustang, Fairmont, etc) behind the 2.3L 4.
You might also be able to use an AL4D, which is the OD
replacement for the C3. Used in 4 cyl Mustangs and T-birds, and the
Ranger based trucks (incl. BroncoII, Explorer, and Aerostar).
Good luck.

I wil be the Ford type nine I expect. The problem will be getting a
torque converter to fit the end of the crank won't it??

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.
