Default 2L pinto and MK2 gearbox

Hey there, Does anyone know whether a 2L pinto will bolt straight up to a stock mk2 cortina gearbox? can the gearbox handle the 2L? and how easy is it to convert the hydraulic clutch to cable?

cheers all

Hey.No it doesnt,have tried.Better off buying the 2 litre gearbox and fabricating mounts to fit.You may be able to use a stock escort driveshaft but with different yoke or have to cut and weld one to fit.I have a Mk2 with 1600 and its bloody hard to get a floor manual gearbox that runs a hydraulic clutch.Oh and youll have to change your clutch set up to cable and maybe modify your accelerator.Goodluck.
