I was wondering if any of you knowledgeable gents know the final drive ratio of a 2litre box? Also is it possible and are parts available to change this ratio with the intent of giving lower engine revs at highway speeds? thanks...Rob

4.57 is the diff ratio and the ones I have seen counted out at .89 4th gear ratio.
Albins has many ratios to do what you ask(around $400 last I got one) and I believe there are other 2lt 4th gear ratios but have not seen any myself.
1800 and 1600 boxes had .89 and .82 ratios but are not interchangeable with the 2lt.
