Type 2 (kent Escort) is interchangable with the Type E (kent Cortina) but the shifter location is slightly different so needs a mod to the tunnel. Thats what I have in my Mk1
Type 2 has a cast bellhousing so a Kent one probably won't fit onto a Pinto. the usual mod is a 5 speed type 9 that has a separate bell housing
