Here what the Bentley's manual has:
RATIOS
                Gearbox Overall
Top w/OD        0.82            3.03
Fourth  1.00    3.70
Third   1.325   4.90
Second  2.00    7.40
First   3.38    12.50
Reverse         4.28    15.80 

I suspect that the 'Overall' number is dictated by the diff ratio, either
3.7 or 4.1 W/OD installed

Anybody out there know what the gear ratios for a TR3 were?

Considering a T5 swap (over the Toyota) and want to insure that the
performance is close (or improved).

Also - anybody want to weigh in on a rack and pinion conversion?  The kits
seem a bit overpriced, and I'm pretty handy, so I'm curious as to what
others have done.

Just sold my big healey and want to make my TR3 into a more comfortable
touring car.
