<VV> Transaxle Ratio Choice

[FrankCB at aol.com]

Dave,
    If you plan on much highway driving and are  concerned with MPG costs, 
I'd recommend the LOWEST number gearing you can  get.  3.08 would be great if 
you could find it, but at least 3.27 to keep  the revs down.
    But I may be spoiled with 1800 rpm at 60 mph in my  TransSport.<GGGG>

I am  rebuilding the transaxle for a 66 Corsa 140-4 Convert.   I have the  
choice of several gear sets and need your thoughts on the best ratio to  
install.   The vehicle will just be a general cruiser and Show and  Shine type of 
runner, with mostly around town driving.  Should I just use  the 3.27 for this 
general use or use the 3.55 set as best choice?
