Pretty sure you need manual flywheel, clutch .gearbox,pedal box,or just the clutch pedal and cable.

As redratbike says, with auto's there is no 'flywheel' only the torque converter and a thin disk to carry the starter gear.

Don't 'know' the Ford setup but be careful of the spigot bush, often on auto engines the spigot bush is steel (cheaper?), with manual gearboxes it needs to be bronze or a running bearing. I discovered the difference the hard way after fitting a manual box to a Rover P6 auto engine.

Check out a Haynes manual, you should have pictures of both? I don't have the Cortina Manual.
