What 4spd gearboxes can I use with XR3i CVH

[Kevwana]

Hey, wondered if anyone could help.. and tell me which 4spd gearbox I could use with xr3i engine.
I am eventually about to start a full rebuild on my XR3i Powered Offroader and although the engine is good the gearbox is 'non functioning'.
Im not 100% sure but think it currently has a fiesta mk1/mk2 4 speed box, and wondered if anyone could tell me what options I have or would be best...?
As its is an offroad vehicle shouldn't be an issue loosing out on a bit of 'top end' with the 4 speed.. someone has suggested using a gearbox from a 1.1 ohv mk3 escort.. would i be better off with this rather than another fiesta box or are they the same thing ?
Any advice appreciated, Cheers, Kev

Mk4 diesel gearbox 1.6 or 1.8 good for acceleration crap for top end though. But as you say you don't care about that. Only thing is it will be 5 speed
