Hi,
I've got the Ford Tranny conversion from Frontline and also their tube shock
conversion and both are top quality. A bit pricy but you do get what you pay
for.
My car is a frog with a 1275 and later suspension, brakes, etc.
The Ford Sierra tranny is a nice tight box with a good gear ratio and short
shifting. The kit looks like a factory job - it bolts up and works and looks
great.
YMMV
