    I presume most Ford engine's pre Duratec. Think the latter is a Mazda lump so rule's that out.

    Think Mondeo 2.5/3L and Jag AJ engines work with them too from what I can remember

    yeah...to fit any of these to a v6 type 9, you will have to shorten the input shaft where it goes in the spigot bearing. about 6mm did it for me i think! that was a v6 type 9 and a 4 pot bellhousing.
    there's nothing wrong with rust!!!

    if you go for some after market bell housings the selection will expand a little , but they are nt cheap and takes a bit of time to source them if they are nt made anymore , you do get a duretic one from the kit car 7 industry and there was a b/h to take a vag 1.8 , and dont forget the donkey ---the 1.8 diesel ,if you are daft enough.
