Have a look at your ID plate Scott to find out what ratio you currently have. If you have 3.9:1 then 4.1:1 will put your gearing back to standard with the 33's on.
Keep in mind the front locker will need to be swapped over and GQ LSD's are bigger and stronger than GU LSD's.

The neighbor across the road had diff centres from his GU which are virtually brand new as he got them swapped out about a week or two after he got it ... should I be getting them to slot in when we do the engine? They're 4.1:1 ...

Sooooooo .... the engine .... well, through a bit of luck and the keen eyes of the chaps involved, I'm now getting that TB42 with Turbo that MR posted up about on the forum - 200 odd kilowatts and a massive amount of torque at the rear wheels (and he's running 35's!) ... far easier transplant, cheaper, and probably producing as much power as the LS1 anyway ...

Paul is going to suss it out on the weekend and slap down the deposit, old mate that owns it is going to bang it all on a couple of pallets (as it includes the gas system etc also), and once up here, we're ready to roll ... to say I'm excited is a massive understatement!!

Just spoke to the bloke in question & he's keen as so im off to Geelong on the W/end old mate to drive a very fat GQ..........lol

You know Tank & I are going to get all close & personal real soon don't ya?............. Do ya think you can cope old mate???............. I want no jealousy out of you now...................ROFLMFAO

I'll find out this arvo mate - will definitely be 'mates rates' so should be a cracking price ... he just offloaded a set of 5 coopers on black 16" rims to a mate of mine for his BT50 for $750 (less than half price with just on full tread), so it'll be a deal no doubt.

Awesome buddy, i've got 3;9s now & have been hoping to find some 4;1s for a while, he doesn't have a spair gearbox as well does he?
Anywho i better go & do some work now to pay for all these new bits & peices. I'm looking at putting later models headlights, indicators, tail lights & polished stainless steel grille on soon but i need to sort some of the greasey bits first.
