[Healeys] Any update on the 6 speed conversion ? BN2

[F Ronald Rader]

Jose:
my preference would be
fourth gear of 1:1
fifth gear of .8
6th gear .6

this would give you a close box where you need it and two great
cruising gears. the 6 th gear  is for over 80 MPH cruising.
here are the ratios from a 550 Maranallo,  6 Speed Manual with a 3.9
Final Drive
1st Gear Ratio 3.15:1
2nd Gear Ratio 2.18:1
3rd Gear Ratio 1.57:1
4th Gear Ratio 1.19:1
5th Gear Ratio 0.94:1
6th Gear Ratio 0.76:1
