This is a two part question and I thank you in advance for your help--
The previous owner had the diff gearing changed at the same time that he got a Robert Davis 3.0 transplant. He didn't now exactly what they were.. he said 3.8:1 (??) or 3.9:1 (??) He didn't know and I don't either.
Do either of these sound right? It's Rover in the front and Salisbury in the rear.
Now for part two:
It has the aforementioned gears in the diff, a SIII tranny, and this 3.0l engine. Right off the bat I burned up the Fairey OD.. it was dry of oil and I didn't check before driving away.
Would you think, based on this combination, that I'd even need to replace the OD? It's geared pretty high as it is, don't you think? It will see a lot of road use as I would like to travel long distance in it.
I know you're going to ask, "Well how does it drive"? I coudn't really tell ya' as it's been torn down ever since getting it home and will be for awhile as I address many issues.
Thank you very much, gents--
