Latest Duratec and Geabox options Australia?

Hey everyone,

im just looking for the latest Duratec options and what gearboxes people are installing into mk1 escort upgrades.

I would like to keep a simple semi standard duratec with throttle bodies, management, headers and exhaust and a nice small throw, notchy gearbox with some great ratios and then at least a fifth or sixth for highway driving.

What engines and gearboxes are people using and what cars are they sourcing their parts from please.

Any my suggestions or comments would be very much appreciated

thanks
