[QUOTE="rlepecha, post: 583909, member: 19679"] Micko68 is running a beetle box. I think Graham @Midland Early Bay has mentioned the beetle gearbox conversion/fitting kits before, might be worth giving him a shout. Apparently you can shift the engine back just enough by modifying the mounts a bit to give you the 10mm or so longer the the 6rib is.. Not done that myself though, just been told about it. I've just been having my 3 rib rebuilt by Bears with the later 6 rib ring and pinion ratio, but Ill still be running a 1600! Albiet with twin 34ICTs, custom ignition map (more torque hopefully) and 1:1.25 rockers. Sounds like I may have made a mistake there, but plan to build a bigger engine anyway if it drives s**t.
