If you want lower gears you'll have to get the next
series carrier which should be 3.73 and up.

The car is Gary Bogosians roadster from way long ago when the AAA and FIA had a 4.5 Liter--270 cuin un-supercharged class. When I get it back together, I'll send pictures, it's pretty rusty and nedeed lots of reconstruction done, I'm ready to sand blast it all next.
