[Healeys] 28% OD with 3.54 rearend

[Rick Wilkins]

I have this setup and it’s all good. First gear is now usable as more than a stump puller. Great for freeway cruising or top speed rally driving. A Healey is not a drag racer, so not being ultra quick isn’t problem at all for street use.

I made a chart years ago for different gear and tire sizes:
