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?
