Thanks Bob. The initial request was actually related to a Subaru conversion. I was questioning the higher 2.5L hp Subaru when linked with the lower hp rated VW transmission. I believe I am leaning toward your suggestion.
Thanks for your insight.

My suggestion is it would be cheaper to get a 14/15 or 16 inch wheel set up with some 29 inch tyres.
Others may have different experiences, but cost of 3/4 gears and overhaul is quite high.
I'm pretty sure this thread is going to get "dinged" as not specifically related to Subaru-into-Vanagon
subject matter, so take it elsewhere �. but I completely agree with the above.
Much easier, and just as effective, to use wheels/tires for "gearing-change" purposes.
