Rear gear and transmission ratios of 16 valve 740 700 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be Matthew C. Hall on  Wed Nov 1 08:49 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Hello,

Does anyone know the rear end ratio of the 16 valve(B234F) equipped 740's? I heard that it was different than the turbo and normally aspirated cars due to the unique torque curve of the engine. Since I am going to swap a B230T into the car is this a good or bad thing? From what I know about the B234F all of the horsepower and torque was in the top end, so I would imagine the rearend ratio being lower (Numerically higher) to compensate. I think this would be great in a turbo car for off the line power. Also, what are the ratios of the manual trannies (M46?) that came in the 700 series? I'd like to run the whole thing through a gear calculator and see what the cruise rpm would be.

Thanks,

Matthew C. Hall
