Derskine 11 Posted June 21, 2011 Gearbox is the same I think, just the GT has a gear remote hidden by the centre console, you need to look at the engine block too, the GT will have 118E or 122E (I think) stamped on the left hand side of the block, if its a standard 1500cc engine it'll have 120E. never heard of this. to my knowledge it is a matter of manufaturing date and should have either 116E, 120E (most common), or 122E (very rare). if it has (replacement)-engine from an early MK2 GT it should be 2731. if the manifolds are taken off, a GT head can be easily spotted by the two extra tubes coming out on 2nd and 7th port, not sure if you can see it in this pic of an early Mk2 GT engine (posting 11 in case link doesn t work) http://www.buysellcortina.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/24157-mk1-1500-deluxe-brought-home-today/page__view__findpost__p__224287 Just going on what I saw on an ebay listing, but you're probably right ah i see :cheers: ! as i wouldn t dare to call me an expert i´m always willing to learn something, that´s why i like this forum! :cheers: Yep, most of the stuff I've learned is from this forum, I do tend to pass on what other people have said without really knowing if its right though lol. Anyway I'd probably listen to hans on this one :thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
