Very good used Ford Type E ("Rocket box") from a Birken, $500 in No, Nevada.

Very good used Ford Type E ("Rocket box") from a Birken Lotus 7 replica that had a "Kent" 1600 cross-flow engine in it.

I pulled the top cover and looked inside, no chipped or broken gears.

These are full synchro so no first/reverse issues as are common to transmissions without first gear synchro.

Iron case top loader, 'Web information says good for 175-200 HP so much stronger than the earlier Type 3.

Only selling as I am putting a T9 in its place.

These are very hard to find in the USA.

Modified gear lever is included but the bell housing is not.

There are several direct fit bell housings available depending on your use.

Any bell housing that will fit a T9 should bolt up to the Type E but you have to remember the input shaft length varies.

This is from a four cylinder engine so has the "Short" input shaft and "Lower" gears.

Gear ratios: 1=3.65:1, 2=1.97:1, 3=1.37:1, 4=1:1

Listing as local pickup only as I cannot estimate shipping to an unknown address and do not have it crated.

I am near Reno/Lake Tahoe, you wanted to visit the area anyway.

YRC Freight went broke, Fastenal is a good alternative for Western US.

Greyhound bus used to be good for this, but I don't know that they still do shipping.

Fastenal hardware seems to be the best now.

But from my location they are limited as they will not cross the Mississippi river.

So they are limited to the Western US for my use.

Fortunately, with the heavy bell housing removed these are NOT real heavy so UPS may not be too bad.
