Yes, he will need a complete pumpkin, plus the ring and pinion from a GT6
(stock without overdrive), or a TR7 with an automatic tranny [small type
diff]. IF converting to this ratio, I would look for the TR7. Since you
will have to do the same amount of work to set it up you might as well get
a slightly stronger diff in the process -
