the reason an LDV box would work is because LDVs came fitted with 1.9XUD PSA engines, which share a block with the 1.8 XUD.
Ford transits didn't come fitted with Peugeot engines, so you're making a lot of work for yourself

Don't reinvent the wheel unless you have already have a Transit 'box sitting or can get a freebie one...

British Leyland/Rover LT77 or R380 gearbox is what you want, the correct bellhousing, flywheel, clutch etc only came in the LDV Pilot Something like this one  Ebay link |

Ebay link was an example, search harder and you'll find more. You'll probably need the LDV flywheel and clutch too, alternatively I think Chairchild got round it using specific Peugeot saloon model parts?
