Type 9 onto 24valve
G,Day all, I,ve read several entries on type 9 gear boxes some say no! some say yes! . Exactly what are the pro,s & con,s of a type 9 on a 24 valve as I have one on my BOA in my 1948 Anglia delivery street rod which is about to be licenced here in Australia I would realy like to avoid problems if any!!!

Here are the facts
The type 9 is not realy strong enough but can be nursed to soldier on a while.
The speed sensor is required or the engine will run an a kind of "limp home" map - if you don't know any better,
you'll be happy with the performance but get a speed sensor connected and the difference is amazing.
Ford spent a few million quid developing the MT75 and the 24V Cosworth engine. If it didn't need the speed sensor,
it wouldn't be there and if the type 9 was any good, they would still use it rather than spend money on new developments
of the MT75 funilly enough.
We run all our Cosworths how Ford intended and they're much quicker and run smoother than any of the
lashed up stuff with type 9 boxes.
Just some of what we do
