Wow, so it might really be 4.11:1

The previous owner performed the swap on a car he bought with a blown engine. Could have been an automatic. Thankfully it's a 5-speed now, with a hurst shifter...pretty cool. I feel like I've gone back in time a bit.

What's worse, is currently the rear tires are 255/45/16 so that in effect has lenghtened my gear ratios, so when I go back to 225/50/16 it's going to feel even shorter.

The car was/is a 740 Turbo GLE < - (I think I'll check when I get home) with a live rear axle.
