thinking of fitting a vauxhall twincam engine into my car and want to use the 5 speed box which i have fitted .ZF
now the engine at mo is a 2.0lt cih (manta) running twin carbs
been offered a 2.2 twincam out of a omega
will this fit directly onto the ZF box or will I need an adaptor plate made up.

No it wont fit direct but an adaptor plate should see you right.Cant you use the omega box too to save faffing about?

So you have 4 choices,
adapter plate,
omega gearbox with some means of driving a speedo, and possibly tunnel mods, as its a huge box,
carlton box, as huge as an omega, but has speedo drive,
Manta 1.8 gearbox, small has speedo drive, not as tough and fairly rare now.
