Thread: ZF behind 3.5 twin su

Hey Adam, yes it would be a great idea IMO. Give me a call tomorrow if you get a chance, I have a few ideas.

Hope you guys are well?

No worries JC will do

I always thought the carbied 3.5 was better suited to the 3 speed.

The ZF worked better with the bigger v8's.

The overall ratios for the 727 carb 3.5 aren't that different when you take the 1.003:1 case into consideration. The best mod I ever did was to fit up a 1.223:1 LT230 from a 5spd D1 to the back of the 727 and it actually accelerated The need for the carb hi comp 3.5 to rev actually helped, it still got to the same top speed with the 20% lower ratio High range

Adam is using taller tyres, so using a 1.411 defender High range may actually help in this case, too.

The Hi comp carb 3.5 is actually pretty torquey compared to the low comp EFI donk...
