I think Ford gearboxes are popular because of the range of bellhousings avaialble to mate them to different engines. Not sure though - as i'm planning to use an engine/gearbox combo as it came out of my donor...
I don't think Type 9 are that hard to come by if you are prepared to pay for them , equally there are also quite a few Sierras still out there if you are prepared to look - again it might be the cost that puts you off...
