Hi there,

welcome to the forum.

You should give us a bit more of an idea of what car you are building ie a BEC or CEC, and then also which model engine as it all has a bearing on Diff ratios and other things...

Regards,
Steve

A rotten 4WD Sierra Cosworth I would have thought!

Sell engine and transmission and recoup your outlay and Bob is your uncle.
