Jeff,
Don't apologize, the site looks great, and seems to be working well 
from what this "Maniac" has checked.
Questions on your car---are you still having drivability problems?
My petrol tank was corroded inside, I took it out this winter and had 
it "renewed", Hopefully if this darn Minnesota weather cooperates 
I'll be driving it in less than a month.
Are you the only member with a Ford 2.8 V6(German) on our list in the 
US?  I mention this because I have found a source for rebuilt Ford   
T-9 five speed transmissions.  From what I've learned so far this is 
a bolt in exchange for the four speed with the first four ratios the 
same as the four speed but and with a .80 O/D.  I may have this 
conversion done next winter depending on finances.   I don't know if 
this is also a bolt in exchange for the Essex(English)Ford 3 Litre.   
The source is Pierce Manifolds who offers it in a conversion for MG's 
with all the parts needed for the conversion.   I was quoted $ 750.00 
for just the rebuilt tranny which I've been told is not a bad price.
Just thought I'd mention it as right now I pull 4000 rpm @ 70 MPH, 
the O/D would drop it to about 3200 rpm, easier on me and the 
engine...
All for now,
Paul
