I may have to custom ratio 1-4th? To best suit my needs, 3500-3800 rpm @ 60
mph is my target

Velma 82 1.9L AAZ td westy

That seems like a snails pace for that high of rpm's.

A local, with a tin top Syncro, has that same motor but travels at 70/75
at more like 2500 rpm. Transaxle gearing changes by Daryl.
Pulls all the grades in the Wasatch in 4th gear at 60/65.
