If an engine will bolt to one Ford gearbox (unless it's a Yamaha engine a la 1.25 Zetec, and the newer Duratecs) it'll bolt to any

The Zetec just bolts straight up to either an MT75 or a Type9.

Just to note, 'boxs from V6 Ford have a longer input shaft and need a spacer plate to use 'em with a 4 cylinder, although they are stronger than 4 pot ones.
