hey folks,

another diff question....

998, lovely head work, medium cam good to 6500ish-rpm 10" wheels on a moke... whilst it will do some open road work, it will primarily be under 100km/h.... would sacrificing a couple hundred rpm be worth the better take off in city driving?

Thoughts please!

3.6 or 3.7 if you`re not on the hyway a lot

it is only a little motor so it will need all the help it can get

a 3.4 will be boring

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

3,7 diff was awesome.

but I drove a car with a turbo.

holy moly. awesome pick up running 3.5psi. highway sucked though.

was loud **high revs**

but if you are doing highway or long trips i would go a 3.2 or 3.4

or go a 3.2 or 3.1 with a sc12 or turbo

3.6 is good. 3.44 can be good but you need to build the 998 especially to have torque in a certain range. Stops it being quite so 'boring' (Matty!!!)

my early cars were 3.7 but one trip from Brissie to Bundy and back cured me of them!

Cheers,

Jacob

3.44 for the highway, nice easy cruisin at 120k, at 4-4500rpm, 3.6+ for poky city traffic you can zip in and out of.

I'd say in a Moke, use 3.64 with 998, 3.44 with 1098(they have bigger balls)

.........and a bigger stroke..

Yeah, I'd go with either the 3.6 or 3.7 considering your not going to do too many highway miles....
