Hard to explain, but Rob Lane does a good job on his website

Where abouts are you in Cambridge? I'm in Shelford . My car has a type 9 mounted to a crossflow . Use a Sierra clutch, think it was an early
1600 . Prop may be a bit different but not too expensive to get made. Bailey Morris in Eaton Socon near St Neots is as good as anywhere

it is 3 inches or 75mm longer and uses more splines on the gearbox end

Depends on what box you are replacing. I just put a Type 9 in my Striker, replacing the 4 Speed which I think is a "Type E". It was the
same length, same input shaft, only thing that needed modifying was the gearbox mounting that needed to be moved a little further back towards the
axle.
Other 4 speed boxes are shorter and have smaller input shafts.
An English axle is a "front loader", i./e. the diff assembly is a separate casting that bolts in the the front of the axle casing. The
Atlas has a removable rear cover on the diff housing. You can also try picking them up, and English can be lifted without much bother, an Atlas might
require a hernia operation afterwards!
