Sierra Sapphire gearbox and engine type? how to tell the difference

[paul the 6th]

Just wondered,

just by looking at pictures of a sierra sapphire, is it possible to distinguish a sapphire with the cvh/type 9 set up, against a sapphire with the dohc/mt75 setup?

I'd like to use the cvh/type 9 configuration but it's difficult to work out which sierra's have which components when the prospective donor is 200 miles away and the seller is selling the car for their "mother's friends dog's cat's auntie who doesn't isn't really sure about the mechanicals but it's got electric windows".

(n.b. I'd like to go with cvh since this is my first build and the adjustments for the transmission tunnel aren't really outlined in the book = i WILL muck it up)

Any info/advice is greatly appreciated!
