 The 094's come in both gas and diesel cars worldwide.
the R+P on the diesel may (or may not!) be "lower"
My 83 diesel with the 0.77 5th and whatever R+P it was, was not far off my 88
waterboxer in gearing for top gear.
 the interal bits of a diesel and a petrol tranny are the same. the old 091
for the diesel had a NASTY habbit of stripping the tiny pinion
gear..(yes..with 70 some odd lb/ft of torque!) I don't think the 095 is so
"dainty" inthe final drive..
HOWEVER leave the burn-outs to the kid in the chevy mebbe?
