Gear number

Hello! Would have a question for you! When clearing out an old garage, I found a gearbox (it seems to be still fit) of a Ford. I can’t assign it to a Ford model because there’s nothing on it except the gearbox number. Is it possible to find out the Ford model that fits this gearbox due to the gearbox number? Are there any possibilities or do I have to drive the gearbox into the Recylinghof? Would it be a pity because it still seems fine. Any of you give me a tip? Thank you! LG Kitcat
