I'm not sure how these boxes copes with lots of rpms in a NA engine... 200 NA BHP = usually implies of rpm...
Stop being spoon fed and GOOGLE it!

Ive been looking at prices for upgrading my box now 3rd has destroyed it self and its looking at £8k plus if i went down the dog engagement motorsport box route!! I think a recon standard box and turning down the boost is a better idea for the time being!!
Have you considered fitting either the Focus MTX75 or ST170 Getrag box. Quaife and others will supply various gearkits for these boxes and they should be plenty strong enougth.
I did consider this route myself if my dogbox ever died. Not sure space wise but nothing a would guess an angle grinder and mig welder couldn't sort .

Nightmare wiring the pins and putting into the ECU plug as my blistered fingers prove. Hopefully should have it back up and running on Tuesday and should get in some Dyno runs.
If anyone wants a few month old Emerald K3 ECU, with triple map switch, should be available at the end of the next week ( as ive left it down at the mappers)...........Doohhhh!!!

I have some Castrol SMX-S for my refresh when I next need to empty the box out. Spec is not totally ideal at 75w85 rather than the 75w90 Ford use. the Ford oil I wanted is currently not available which kinda cheesed me slighty.

Im fitting a Tran x diff in it and they recommend Millers but just seen the price of the oil so may have to look elsewhere!

Did you need any special tools, or is this something a typical workshop should be able to undertake?
Have you had to reshim the gearbox?
Did you use new bolts to fit the crownwheel to your new diff?
Sorry for all the questions, excited about getting mine done and I want to make it as straightforward as possible for the garage.

The bearing numbers are LM29711/Q with LM29749Q and BT1B329149/Q with BT1-0017A/Q these are the inner bearing and outer cage numbers, just give your brg supplier these numbers and they can get them, SKF of course!!!!
You will def need the 5th gear puller, new gaskets, sealer, crown wheel bolts,driveshaft seals. I havnt tried to remove the diff bearing inner brgs as you usually break the brg and speedo drive anyway, so ordered the speedo drive aswell. If its an FRP box you dont need the rear endplate gasket.
I will do the diff end float when the bearings come, but no shim in mine when I stripped it down just the 2 cone washers!!!!
Hope this helps!
Heres a pic of the 5th gear puller

You cannot get the puller jaws under the 5th gear to pull on it as it sits close to the casing, well you might but you risk damaging the casing. There aint really nothing to grab onto the gear either. The 5th gear is bloody tight, well mine was so best to use the Ford Tool. I just rang my Ford Dealer and asked if they could fit a lsd into my IB5 box or could they lend me the tool.............they lent me the tool!!!!!
Heres a pic of the 5th gear, you can just see it (top left) and youll see what I mean
I thought id try the shafts into the lsd before i fitted it and they bloody dont go in all the way!!! Looks like the end plates arnt same width all the way down
A few phone calls tomorrow then!

Just picked up on this, lovely lookin car, its a credit to ya.
Whatever you do throw those std Ford diff brg cones in the bin and use solid shims. They are no good for a high torque box lol, they allow the diff to float.
