yes I understand what you're saying. last time I checked, gear ratios are different on a transmission for a diesel vs. one for a gas engine.

I guess you could tear apart the transmission and change the ratios, might as well while you're transplanting all the engine-related electrical stuff into the gasser. And all the fuel related stuff.
