i already have the quaife gearkit in my f20 box and with the 4.2 cwp that i was intending to use it was only going to be good for about 114mph whaen i worked it out

thats obviously gonna be no good when the box is bolted to the turbo motor,

i did try it with the std 3.55 cwp when i first got the gearkit but because the 1st gear is longer ratio to start with it made it hellish to get set off, had to slip clutch etc, was like setting off in second

but now ive found out the f20 4x4 box has a 3.72 cwp so i think im maybe going to try that

so ive found a f20 4x4 box that im going to rob of the 3.72 cwp

box fetish, the other box in pic is a f16 that i was hoping to be a close ratio as they have a 3.94 cwp and apparently fit the f20 box too, but as it happens its a wide one with the same 3.72 cwp as the 4x4 box

garage floor after id eptied the oil contents all over it

anyone want to buy a transfer box?

and my 3 inch stainless pipe arrived so i can costruct a downpipe with

going to look at another f16 box soon, see if it contains the rare as hens teeth 3.94cwp

said fuck it to using a vaux cwp, gonna stick wid my straight cut 4.2 and just get a longer 5th from quaife

so started stripping box, here are my new bearings

got cluster outa box

got both shafts removed

started stripping gears off the pinion shaft

with all gears pulled off the vaux shaft i had a bit compare, new pinion should help loads as its alot smaller

and started to put gears back onto the new pinion shaft, thats how i left it for tonight

I would end up knocking the end of the piece of wood with all the bits laid out on or something shit like that tbh.

Looking good though ken. Have you decided what to do about a manifold?
