alternative engines, WARPED

[Todd....!!]

Sorry Greg, type=o, my budy has an 8 3/4, was getin ahead of myself in
the prev e-mail...

ALSO, didn't know Dana's don't go lower than 3.33!  Definitely learned
somethin outa that type-o error!

Thanks for that info as well!

I would really like to see what the bee would do with the tallest gears
made for an 8 3/4, and put an 8 3/4 in the dude and let her fly, I only
wanna turn max of 6,000 rpm so we'll see....

Already made a spreadsheet which cross calculates gear ratio with engine
rpm with a 1:1 final drive...

The only variable, which is entered as a constant in a specific cell is
the tire height....  I don't account for any slippage in the
trans/torque converter...

Thanks again for the additional info about the gears!

LATER!

Todd....!!
