i have got a T3 hi top and it is a 1.6d and i have bought a 1.6td van for spares and was wondering if i put the 1.6 td engine in my hi top to try and get it to go a bit better will i have to changed the gearbox as well are they the same ratio ? they are both 4 speed and both the same year

hi dean! dont think you need to change the gearbox bud, unless you got a 5 speed diesel then put that in!

 l  o butty , l o musha -
 
 
NA boxes look alot lower geared , have a shuftie at
 
 
 
  http://www.johnmaherracing.co.uk/gearcalc.htm    185/80 14s give you a diameter of near as damn it 26" .
 
  a 3H box will give you 59mph/3k rpm (0.816 5th gear and 4.86 r+p)
   various 1.6 NA boxes wil give you 47mph/3k rpm (o.85 4th and 5.83 r+p)
 
find ya gearbox code and have a play with the figures. If you have the TD box swap it if the predicted speeds make it worth while/
