can everybody do me a favour post up info about what rpm the engine is doing vs road speed please so.. for example in 1st gear 1000rpm = 15mph or whatever it is.. and what type of felicia you have.. i'm thinking about swapping the gearbox on my pickup for a 1.6 petrol one or diesel one, so i'm just trying to figure out which will be best for my setup.. i reckon by my calculations with a diesel box in 5th gear 70mph is roughly 2550rpm at the moment i've got a 1300mpi box in there, and the 1st and 2nd gears are far too short for the amount of power i've got, and in 5th gear 70mph is above 3000rpm which gets really tiresome on a long journey becuase the engine is quite throaty i know that jimbo and darren will probably have something to say on this subject

one of these beauties has fallen into my hands, it's all complete and it's got a recon cylinder head on plus new belts and water pump etc
