CF Bedford Chat / Re: Diff ratio's for holden 202 in Bedford van 1978
« on: August 18, 2016, 07:23:36 AM »
HI Guys,
Thank you for all your input.
I would like to stick to manual, the 5 speed box that is in it before 5th went out it would do 100k at bang on 3,000 rpm. I have been told that 202's don't like to rev high and to be fair I found its sweet spot to be about 2,200 rpm.
To be honest I have only just brought it (knowing it is basically a shell). I need to steam clean underneath to find out what diff it is as I have no idea.
What I am looking to do is create a family wagon with some character as I really don't like the look of people movers. But want it to be economical.
Years ago i had a bedford with a 308 in it with trymatic auto and the ratio was wrong and cost a fortune to run so wanting to get this one right.
I am central North island (Te Aroha) only an hour and a half from Auckland.
Thanks Guys.
