   Thanks you Gentlemen,

       I will get the CAD drawing done from one these CAD freelancers on the net
       and post back the results.
       .
       Just one question - which of the three SAE 1,2,3 will go with the FORD transmission parts from slausons ?

       Regards

   I saw this photo o various Ford planetary gears on the website, how does each one effect the reduction ratios

   The planet carriere with the square theet is 3.12 and the other is 2.85. Hold the ring gear in both cases.
   The flange # goes with any gear box. The big flanges are for wood props.

   Paul Lamar hold off on the email. I'll be back in a few days.




You said the planet carrier with teeth is 3.12 and the other is 2.85.
I was looking at this gear box http://www.aeromomentum.com/gearbox.html
he described the ratio of his gearbox 2:5:1  Designed for 4 cylinder engine up to 210LB horse power.
In terms of horse power if that is the correct way to view the ratios what horsepower should be used with 2.85 and 3.12

Any HP number.

Here is a little quiz.
If I have an engine that generates 200 HP at 6000 RPM what is the torque?
