Default Honda "B" engine trans gears interchangeability

I would like to know if it is possible to exchange the various gear ratios in the common transmissions used for the "B" series transmissions - S80, Y80, Y1, YS-1, etc?

Application is land speed racing, and I may need to make a number of gear swaps. I need the first 2-3 gears to be relatively tall, and 3rd, 4th, and 5th pretty close together so at top speed, there isn't much rpm drop between gears.

I'm thinking something like:

1st 3.23 to
2nd 1.90
3rd 1.458
4th 1.107
5th somewhere about .925-1.0

and final drive 4.23 or 4.4

Thanks,

Jeff

Just get a B16 transmission and get a Ls mainshaft and 1st and 2nd gear. Or an LS tranny and a B16 3-5 gear set.

I would start with an Hydro LS tranny to build off of.....

power level, tire size, rpm powerband, goal mph are all need to figure gearing.

MFactory offers a 4.00 FD setup as well as a steep 3.47 FD
