it even looks like the old unit and its gm
from what i worked out with 235 75 15 tyres i would need around 4.11-4.30 to match the donor cars 3.7 on 195 65 15 gearing allthough i dont wish to go 140 mph! so i guess a little lower would be fine and have it accelerating pretty well. the donor car will give 30 + mpg and have read reports of 40+ with a few easy mods
the donor car is also heavier than a standard 3100 and the ,new, engine /gearbox is a lot lighter than the old 3100 unit so allthough i never chose this to build some ,race, car it should hopefully be a good allround daily driver
just need to get the gearing right | | |
