I am about to install my 3.2 engine and it is being paired with the 901. I was wondering if the 901 need to be regeared or use heavier gears for this application or is the standard gearing fine?
Any other things that should be considered? It will be for street only. |

It depends on the condition of the gearbox. A good freshly rebuilt box will work fine with a 3.2, as long as you don't bang 1st gear.
I did a 3.0 conversion with a stock 901 and that was drove hard smoothly, and it's still doing fine without any problems, 16 years later. A few years ago I did a conversion with a hot rod 3.2 that was around 250hp, and that's still going strong too. Both transmissions were completely rebuit with all new bearings and syncros. One had a 901 limited slip and the other had a Guard torque biasing diff. Both cars had/have big tires and the 3.2 had several DE's time trials, and track events. |
