JoeI have the original 1296 cc engine which I believe has not been modified
in any way and a stock 3 rail trans. The VB catalog says the diff I have
KC55993 is from a 1968 - 1970 GT6 and is a 3.27:1 ratio. My biggest
worry is that the small clutch assembly will not be able to take the
punishment. Would starting from a dead stop in 1st gear with the 3.27
be like starting in 2nd or 3rd gear with the 4.11? The speedo being
out of wack doesn't concern me as much as the clutch. Does any one
make a heavy duty clutch assembly?
