Series IIA "Bitsa" Dormie

[greenmeanie]

I have always been a fan of Data so here goes



Ashcroft high range transfercase with 4.7:1 R&P
high range fourth = 4.01:1 which with 32 in. dia. tyres gives you 2737 RPM at 65 mph.

Way to much rpm for a 292 and even a 250 if he is still thinking Chevy 6.

I wonder if a Roverdrive/roamer drive could survive with the torque?

If you find a close ratio NP435 that is true, most I've run across are wide ratio.

Most all Ford NP435s have a granny first and most of the Chevy NP435s are close ratio. Gears on the later NP435s are interchangable.

I'm running a NP435 with Ford case and Chevy close ration gears inside. It mans a Chevy clutch disc and a Ford pressure plate but it works just fine. With the Ashcroft high ration transfercase & 4.7:1 R&P it gives me real close to 55:1 low first, a low second close to a stock Series low second (which make traveling with others easier) and decent highway gearing.
