Just got back from the few days away and have thought, my car weighs around 730kg, and when its done i will be wanting to A bar it around behind a motorhome, so that means as we know the max is 750kg to be towed unbraked, as it is classed as a trailer aswell.
So with a V6 and bigger box, the type e is only light, will be weigh over the 750kg, even more with the bigger wheels and tyres and the hard top fitted i have.

Si it looks like if i want tostill do this i will have to go back to the MX5 engine and box, or Zetec and keep the type e G box i have.

oh well another decision to sort out.

Or also an Ford ST170, looking good to me that one, but depends on the Type E gear box for it.
I read that the Type E gear box is good for 180bhp, si why does the Type 9 cope with less.
