if you can get the gearbox ratios this is a really good site to play with

Any help ? (pinched from Steve Heath book)




A scan would be better but I haven't got one but a photo gives you an idea.

After checking through the different ratios, it appears the 3:36 diff is the one to go for. maybe 3:45 non ford <BMW>i have a 3:64 ford diff TVR S with an option of a power 3:64 lock version but iam thinking this may become tiring on the motorway still sitting on the fence but thanks for your replies kev
