The Ford Taunus (German) and Granada (English) were front engine/rear wheel
drive, so these engines almost certainly were for RWD application. The V6 was
also used in the English/European Capri, also a RWD car. I believe that Ford
offered a 5 speed in the Granada in the 1980's,
probably also in the Capri. The website for the Capri club of Chicago
http://www.niagara.com/~bevc/ccc34.htm#EligV6
has some brief info on a 5 speed conversion for a 2.0 Capri, suggesting that a
gearbox from a 2.3 Mustang can be used. This site

has details of a 2.8 V6 Triumph Spitfire conversion, also using a Mustang (Borg
Warner) 'box, only a 4 speed although owner talks of fitting a 5 speed.
Cheers
