SUITABLE GEAR RATIOS?

[CHRIS LORD FVL]

You might just want to check what differential you have in the car.
Vandieman used 2 in the factory 9/31 And a 13/36.
They only really used the 9/31 in the kent formula fords. And 13/36 in most of the other cars they biult.
Hewland when they biult the LD200 had 3 differential's available 9/31 10/31 And 13/36.
The majority of 10/31 went in swift formula ford 1600 and 1800 Zetec's

Checking the final drive ratio is good advice
I do think that most FVL's will have a 10/31 fitted, this was what was mandated in the formula.
The FVL is a Reynard design with a Mk9 box in a Reynard casing.
