Default Tall gearing for B series trans

I realize that most look for a lower final drive ratio than the stock gearing but I am thinking of running the motor and trans setup in a buggy type senario and it would be connected to a gear reducing diff assemble that would make the gearing ultra low actually too low so I am looking for a final drive for the B series trans that is ultra high aroun 3.0/1 would be great but I dont think it exists but I would love to be wrong here can anyone tell me where I could find this or even an aftermarket setup?

probably I have searched quite a bit, unless your looking for custom stuff.
keep in mind running a larger tire has an effect too. Just up your tire size by 2-3 inches if your still need longer gears.

Those guys do a 3.47 FD or a 3.7FD for the Mini owners that put Honda B series engines in them

Any info about their FD's? (billet, forged, treating, tooth profile, etc)?

MFactory has a 4.05 and 4.266.

Other than that it would be a custom Houseman at around $1,500.

If you're not set on using the B series, the D series 92-95 CX and VX use a 3.250 FD.
