Change gear ratio
Posted: Thu Jul 09, 2020 2:07 pm
I have a 1949 KB-5. It is "happy" at 35 mph. I can make it go 45 but it is quite loud and the engine is starting to turn faster than I would like. What is the most efficient way to make it "like" 50 mph? 2 speed rear end? A different transmission? Different ring and pinion? Whole different rear end? I don't want to go fast but I do want to go without turning such a high rpm.
Thanks!
Thanks!
