Hi folks.=20
=C2=A0=20
I have a couple more questions on the GT6 I was hoping for some wisdom here=
.=20
=C2=A0=20
1- I have the choice of using a '73 '3 rail' trans that came with the GT6 c=
hassis or a '78 'Marina' trans from my '78 Spitfire donor car. Any recommen=
dations? I am planning on 'massaging' the 2.0 liter inline 6 to about 130 H=
P or so. I understand both trannies are equivalent in=C2=A0handling engine =
power (apparently not very) :)=20
=C2=A0=20
2- I also understand the diffs are pretty much the same as far as power han=
dling. I plan on getting and overdrive, so is the 3.89 ratio from the Spitf=
ire is what the factory used in the US. But, apparently the German GT6s wit=
h OD used the US non OD ratio, the 3:27, maybe that is better for a more re=
laxed cruise? Not planning on drag racing much, but also don't want a car t=
hat cant get out of its own way.=20

Spitfire is what the factory used in the US. But, apparently the German GT6s
