<VV> Turbos and 3.27 gearing

[Western Canada CORSA]

Wouldn't combining the 3.27's with a '61FC tranny and it's stump puller
first gear be a good solution as well?

Regards,
Joel

I had 3.27 in my '63 Spyder coupe (145ci). No problems whatsoever and decent
highway mileage was a bonus (28mpg Canadian).

Howdy All, Does anyone have experience with installing 3.27 diff gears vs.
the standard 3.55 in
an EM (1963) Spyder convertible/coupe?  I have to have my differential
checked because of a
persistent whine while running and have the option of changing ratios at
this time.  I realize
that there may be lower highway revs/noise, better gas mileage and that
boost may come on
earlier because the engine is more "loaded" by the taller gearing.  However
I am concerned that
the car (a convertible) may be even "doggier" off the line than it is now.



Can anyone tell me what has been your real-life driving experience with this
setup?  Would you
recommend the setup to anyone else? Any other considerations or
recommendations while doing the
diff R&R?  Thanks in advance for your thoughts and answers.  Bob Hawley
