I've taken the tags off because I'm getting engine bay ready, I undercoated it ready to paint while we were checking out the input shaft measurements and bearing, I'll get the tags out of the shed tomorrow and let you know.

Sounds like you were really busy.
The only real way to tell the ratio is to pry the cover off the diff. and look for the stamping on the crown wheel.
There was also a GV7 ratio of 3.55:1.
14 beers myself might be a beer fest! :lol: also your bet was a winner GU7 :thumbup:

Was thinking of putting these 16" rims on (if they fit) so can workout right gear for speedo.

they need a good clean!

another thing I need to work out is the tail shaft I only have a 6 cylinder trimatic one in the spare parts car. will that fit if I change the front yoke I have for the 5 speed?

I figure I have a bit of time anyway just sent off auto brake pedal to Dellow for clutch pedal conversion and need to paint engine bay this weekend :thumbup:

this is the front cut of the tail shaft I got with the supra box

Here is the tag off the parts car which hopefully gives an idea as to what tail shaft we have to deal with :think:
