Larry,
I have just updated my engine conversion web page to add a MS Excel 97 spread
sheet to calculate rpm vs speed. You put in your tire size, axle ratio, and
transmission ratios, and it will calculate tire diameter, tire width,
mph/1000rpm, mph/rpm from 1500 to 8500 rpm in increments of 500 rpm, and
rpm/mph from 10 to 150 mph in increments of 10 mph. It will calculate all
these variables for all five speeds. To see a sample of a calculation, or to
download the file, see:

it's a small xls file, about 38KB, so it downloads quickly. Unfortunately,
I'm not a computor whiz-bang, so I don't know how to make it interactive
across the net. Can any one help me do that? I'd like to have it set up to
where you just enter data on your screen, and see the results without having
to download the spreadsheet and run it on your computer (with the option of
downloading it if you choose).
