Grumble is (probably) going Auto...
So, I have in mind - to place between the 4.6 V8 and the wheels, a
standard 4 speed auto box, but cannot decide upon transfer box. My
thinking is as follows: A Borg Warner box has fixed ratio and
although quieter, has the disadvantage of chain stretch...
So, looking at an LT230 (as it also has the diff lock) as an
alternative, but cannot get my head around the ratio to go for.
Having standard 101 front and read diffs (which are fairly low ratio)
but bigger wheels 28.5" - I want to try to avoid having too high a
ratio (cruising at 70 doing 1,500rpm is not good for a V8 and makes
for frustrations for the driver).
Anyone care to shed their light on this?
