You will need to get a M-W58 bellhousing from an MA61 or a 7MGE MA70. The AMI diffs are handy in that they have ratios that are interchangeable with the old Holden stuff so you have access to a lot of tall stuff. Of course they aren't banjo style so to change ratios you have remove the whole diff - the reason I hate them. I suppose you could do it in car but it would be a PITA. The 7MGE will be a huge improvement (power, torque, emissions, fuel consumption) in every respect over whatever SOHC motor is in there at the moment. It will really show you how dated the old SOHC motors are. My gut feeling would be to drop the 7MGE in, see what it is like and then pick a ratio according to that. I think it would be too hard to guess based on the old 2M. That said it'll be taller rather than shorter. [Updated on: Mon, 11 August 2003 01:20] [Report message to a moderator]
