Welcome to OOF
So I have been previously told the GM R25-R28 gearbox is a Getrag 240 box and so is the Ford MT75 but in a different casing. The casings certainly look similar, but two gearboxes companies have today told me they don't think they are the same ?
Does anyone on here have a definitive answer please ?
regards
If you need to replace the bearings at any point. Try these guys, they've always been extremely helpful, even with really obscure stuff like phosphor bronze bushings for a 1980's cement mixer

CNC Heads offer off the shelf ported heads for VX V6, https://www.cncheads.co.uk/vauxhall/vauxhall-vectra-3-2/
Might save a lot of experimentation.

Cool car nevertheless
