as title really

putting a cossy 24v in my S2 along with a hybrid MT75

the old prop has an internally splined shaft into the back of the type9

the new box requires a rubber donut and a prop with a sliding section in it

any ideas what this is off and where I can get one?

UPDATE:
I've replaced the diff with a 4.27 LSD (proper LSD not the cossy type so I have been told) to bring the top speed down to 135 ish at 6000 revs which will make it attainable and a quicker 0-60

I have the MT75 hybrid now and making the shift mech shorter to line up with the original. Will make a new prop once the engine/box is in place and proper measurements can be taken.

the 4.27 was an ebay purchase from a Granada 2.0 16v

I took it to the place that was building my hybrid MT75 gearbox to fit it to the lsd from a Granada Scorpio but he said he had a proper lsd rather than the viscous type laying in the back of his workshop for a few years and I could have it (at a cheapish price)

think you got the wrong end of the stick!!

a hybrid MT75 is a 4x4 sierra front and internals with a 2 litre rear instead of the 4x4 transfer part - to give a 2 wheel drive MT75 - Ford did make a very small number of the 2wd versions and finding one is like rocking horse st
