I put a steel case Celica box in my Mk1 Escort 30 years ago, bellhousing made by Dellow in Sydney. Used a Toyota clutch plate and release bearing and had the prop shaft re welded with Toyota yoke at front and Ford at back. Pretty easy conversion and box is great to use. You can always cut the gearlever down if it is too long, I didn't find it that way.
