Actually no, said cuckoo pooh to produce a 3.27 of a somewhat more robust stature can be sourced from Mr Pearsons fine Emporium.http://www.canleyclassics.com/searchforapart/?ptno=RKC2802 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to gear it for 35mph/1000rpm in OD top so you can get 50mpg on the downhill stretch of the M40!Shame you will spend the rest of the day stirring the gearbox like a demented cook keeping the engine from bogging on the slightest incline or direction change.

I'm gonna go up to 3.27 I'm sure, so if Dave doesn't want it back in a swap or somesuch, you'll be welcome. I'll be looking to swap it in about a months time I guess - it's not tall enough for me.Yes please, when you are ready...... Old one still working, just whinging a bit (10CR might not help that....)I occasionally think about a 3.27 (this in a Vitesse with a 2L and a 0.79 5th gear) as the car could definitely pull another gear at cruise - but I quite like blasting up mountain passes too and the 3.63 seems like the best compromise.NickCheersNick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6 M Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Nick, go with 3.27, and stick some lower profile tyres on, and it will go to aboot a 3.45 ish then you got best of both worlds, !!!!M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
