I've found 2 so far. a 3.47 and a 3.42.

Anyone have one or know where to get one for a half decent price? crazy prices on the 2 i've found.

 

Mfactory has a 4.0 for around $550.

What are you building, a salt flat car? lol

 

nope. something that can use nothing bigger then 13" wheels :-)

thanks for the link...they also make a taller 1st gear. That is getting me closer to where i would like to be.

 

you better keep us updated on this project..... i love honda powered minis

 

Not at all what i was expecting much much better Sorry i can't help on the gears, im always trying to get shorter ones.

Fluidyne half size radiator

I'm horrible at calculating gearing but the 3.4 seems to be where people want to be from street and strip. I can go to a shorter if i swap out the 5th gear. So if i got the Mfactory 1st gear and FD and use an LS 5th...it might be fine. need to do that calculations

 

thats an awesome mini! a guy we knew out here who came down from PA
was working on one. wonder how thats going. yea, 13" wheels and a 4.40
would definately be insane

 

Awesome

What are the plans for the car, road racer? Also, what the biggest tire you plan to use?

 

once i get the extended front end in place...i'll know what the biggest tire i can use on there will be. currently its a little tiny 175/50-13 on a 13"x7" rim

time trial car, exhibition run.

current horsepower is in the 210 range and car with me and drivetrain is an estimated (i was told 1350lbs) 1400-1450lbs.

 

Crazy

 

here is a good gear calculator if you need one

http://www.fatboyraceworks.com...are=1

 

http://www.f-body.org/gears/ (lays out every rpm for each gear)

thanks...i just used this one myself.

with a taller tire, that gear ratio might just be the right one looking it over.

I'm even getting excited.

 

Looks like a 22x8x13"(205x55x13) M&H using the current setup puts me right there as well for track use.

 

Looks like a nasty build especially w that weight of the car. I've got a very short ATS 5.077 FD i have yet to install. Good luck on ur build.

this is a 1.6 in this mini. quite quick for that motor. pretty positive he started in 2nd gear...1st is useless

this swap isn't cheap unless you build your own subframes and go super low budget.


I'm still sourcing out a high end header(might just do some promoting for this) as well as headwork. Still checking to see if i have firewall room for that aebs IM.

 

I would be honored to contribute the headwork to this project. PM me about a deal if youre interested, as i could work something out for only 1/2 the cost of what i normally charge.

cos 'G' reg with the number plate that way round means the car was first registered imbetween 1st September 1969 and 31st August 1970


(English number plate system, you can instantly tell what year it is )

 

good to know. never knew that.

*edit* and if you were interested, it was registed in a place called Reading
