Can you tell me what gearbox this is please, I think it's from a Scimitar but also transit - it's got a Laycock J-type overdrive

Early scimitar's used ford's straight six 2.6 litre zodiac engine, then they went essex 3.0 litre, then colonge 2.8 litre so probably best to look at those gearboxes, I would guess at a zodiac/zephyr gearbox with that O/D unit.

I think early transits did use the laycock O/D though.

They did, but it had a flange on the end rather than splines

found something on the internet to suggest it's from a Scimitar SE6 - part 212E 7006G
