[DeTomaso] ZF m1 gear box

[Rolf Poulsen]

well gas is cheap here compared to our car prices as discussed the other day. 
yes it is very suitable for freeway cruising. I have the 2v aussie heads so everything feels well matched together. although more power would not hurt :)

With a .642 top gear coupled with a 3.77 ring and pinion, that thing must really cruise at low rpm in top gear--just what you need with your high gas prices over there!   Yes, inputting those values in the ZF Gear Calculation program on Panteraplace.com reveals that in 5th gear at 2000 rpm you're going 65 mph--not bad!   So long as your engine has torque anyway! :>)
