Best place to check out at the moment is ebay - these are becoming hot currency now because of people wanting them for 24V RWD hybrids so expect to pay £125 or above now.

 carefull on these as the 2.8 and 2.9 box's are differant ?
The 2.8 (type 9 ) and the 2.9 (MT75) will not interchange due to the starter motor positions but to get it to fit the cossie I have no idea if they will fit unless some one has already done one on here if so 
this is my type 9 one

There is an MT75 4x4 box on ebay for £100 at the moment - not far from me.
Where are you ?

Thanks everyone for your help.
I have managed to get a diesel Scorpio box from a breaker which I have sent to a contact Highlander gave me and he has the other half to make me a converted MT75 box.
The transport company that was collecting my donor car let me down last week and didn't collect the car, promised me he will collect this Monday 
Anyone in the Aberdeen area that knows how to get a BOB engine out with the minimum of fuss and is free next weekend, I would welcome the help, and I will make sure my wife doesn't cook anything for you 
Thanks
Colin

The engines easy, its the loom that takes the time
engine and box best removed from below, dropping the entire subframe is your best bet, depends on your facilities really, if the cars not being reused i usually just cut off the front end and pull the engine and box out that way

 I like it, don't know if my neighbours would though. But I think you are right this looks like the way to go. I need the engine out in a hurry but the rest I can take my time over.
Seems a shame to do that to a 98 car though
Cheers

Stihl saw
Its handy this way, you dont need to raise the car up over the engine, just wheel the engine lift in and out, ideal on a drive
