The one I had rebuilt recently has an H second, I'll bet that wouldn't have happened on purpose..

How about this, would it be possible to convert 1st gear on the 901 to 5th gear (using a custom gearset)? This way we would end up with the following gears:
1st 1.89
2nd 1.26
3rd 0.93
4th 0.71
5th 0.53 (using an inverted F 34:18 gearset)
This should make the gearbox perfect for V8 usage with the stock 31:7 rear end, in addition to greatly strengthening it by making 5th, and not 1st the overhung gear... So, how feasible is this?
