This looks very interesting, how do the gear ratios match up with the engine/trans combo to give the best cruising torque and fuel economy balance, you may find that this may be more economical on the open road compared to the I6!!!!!

I look forward to seeing it come together....

Good luck!!!

The ratios should work out well as I am running large diameter wheels (Std JK Wheels) with the standard XJ ratio (3.55). Currently at 110 KPH I am doing 1800 RPM. Perfect...

Excellent though that is with the Jeep's overdrive, how does the T700's overdrive compare?
Also of interest would be how do the other gears compare say 1st for crawling and downhills?????
