Subject:      4.57 r/p for 5 speed diesel trans ??
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

Dear friends.


A month ago I finished my TD conversion now my westy has 90hp instead of 50
, now naturally the van needs a longer gear ratio , my current trans, is a 5
speed for 50 horse diesel and I run 5100 rpm at 140km/h (87 miles/h) I guess
my ring and pinion ratio is 5.50 or 5.428 (38/7) , I guess 2 liter aircooled
4 speed trans' have 4.57 r/p if so or not (I am sure they are longer than
diesel's) do you have an idea If I can fit 4.57 ring and pinion gears to my
trans. ?? I choosed aircooled's because only thats avaible in local
junk-yard I couldnt find a WBX or TD one ..


thanks
