My list of cars has a link to the gallery which explains what I had done to my car since it was way out of my league in terms of fabrication. The toughest part to find was that 300D flywheel which took 2 years to find. I know Tom will argue that it makes it buttery smooth with the extra weight so I do hope that the net result on my car will make it well worth the wait.

Anyhow back to differentials a 2.47 differential (if one could be found) would theroetically allow 135mph at 4432rpms.
The car will pull the 247 in top gear but you will be like taking off in second. My car is a bit awkward taking off in first with the 307. I would not want the 247 in a 300d non turbo stick car myself.
