AFAIK, Ford never fitted a 5 speed transmission to that block for production
use. However:
Throughout the 1970's, various competition Escorts were fitted with 5
speed boxes. These were not fitted to the cars on sale to the public.
These would have specials from ZF or Getrag. The cars used the Cosworth
BD series of engines and I think that these boxes will fit your block. I
don't know if you will have trouble with the clutch/flywheel. They are
not cheap though.
The 5 speed box in the Elan +2 _may_ fit. As above, the bell housing should
bolt on to your block but the cautions above apply.
