Hi all,

Thanks for all the suggestions, etc.  My local hospital and 
insurance company have just provided me with option #5:  $29,500 
bill for a 6 day stay in the hospital! That doesn't include the 
doctor, anesthesiologist, etc. Now I AM sick!

Aside from that I guess I listed my options as my own preferences.  
I've always tended to remain true to the originality of my British 
cars.  The only one I had that tended to increase in value with 
upgrades/modifications was the Jensen-Healey.  Of course anything 
that you changed helped a JH!

I suppose it's time to pull the engine/trans and get to work 
repairing what I have.  I spoke with Mike Denman yesterday and 
because 4th won't engage even on the highway (by matching revs) it 
would seem that the internal arm/lever that moves that synchro is 
bent, gone, etc.  Whatever, it's coming out.

Now, can someone tell me what gearbox is in the V6?  I know it's a 
Ford gearbox.  It's from the Zodiac but is it a Type F, Type 4, 
etc.?  It has two external arms, one on the left hand side and one 
on the right.

Where can I get parts??  Anybody have any experience with this?

Thanks,

Don Lattimer

Don,

I've not tried to get parts, but looking for info on the gearbox I 
came across a link to someone selling new parts for the Zephyr.

The e-mail is : ed.prothero@... - I guess he's in the UK, but 
might be worth contacting - Parts prices were very reasonable.

Cheers,

Mark
