A 998 will have to work harder to get to 70mph than a 1275. The final ratio
of engine rpm's to tire's distance/feet traveled also affects what you feel.
Check to see what the 1960 has, rpm vs. tire travel. Some would put a larger
tire on the back if they don't want the engine turning so fast at 70mph. If
you want acceleration to 70, then your motor will have high rpm's when
you're there cruising.  Bill in Oregon

Subject: [Spridgets] More highway speed for a bugeye?

So i have a 74 midget with a 1275, rib case, and a stock rear that will do
70+ on a highway no problem.  Last year I bought a 60 bugeye that was
modiifed by the previous owner to have a 998 cc motor, rib case  and a stock
bugeye rear.  It has more trouble with highway speeds.  Could I swap out the
stock bugeye rear for a late model midgets?  Would that improve performance?

Thanks

Ryan

Ryan,
I had no problem with a warmed up 948 and a 3.9. I drove the car from Louisv=
ille KY to Melbourne FL when I bought it and it would have been a reallllly l=
ong trip with the extra revs in my ears for 1000 miles.=20

Early Spridgets have 4.22 diff ratio.  Later models have 3.9 and really
late Midgets have 3.77.  3.9 and 3.7 are highly sought after for the very
reason you mentioned.  I've seen 3.9 and 3.7 diff chunks go for big bucks
on ebay.

>From mgexp.com:
"'78 ~ '80 Midgets came with 3.77 ratio (8/'77, from GAN6-200001), better
for highway use than the 3.9 used from 12/'68 ~ '77 (but the 3.77s are
rare, so more expensive). "58 ~ '68 (948 and 1098cc) used 4.22. The ratio
is stamped on the upper RH surface of the diff housing."

You might also look into stronger axle shafts while you're doing rear end
work.  Any Spridget diff chunk should fit in your rear housing.  Just drop
the drive shaft, pop the axles out, and swap the chunk.  Diff ratios are
stamped on top of the chunk.  "10/39" is 3.9. IIRC "9/38" is what you would
have on your 4.22.

I know the basics but will have to defer on the details.  This is where
Frank would chime in and sort it all out.  There are others who know and
share, but none like him.  Really miss that guy.

Ryan,

You only need the Differential which goes inside the pumpkin and rear
axle.  As Derf said you want one that has 10/39 on the top of the
differential case but check yours first to see which you have now!  There
were at least 3 available. Early cars were 4.22 to 1,  then there is 3.9 to
1 and the shorter 4.22 to 1.  The 4.22 is great for autocross -  the taller
geared 3.77 for highway use.  As was noted, the taller gears are getting
hard to find and usually demand a suitable hunk of cash.

If you find a 3.9 or 3.77 that's inside a rear axle case and the seller
won't part it out, buy the whole thing.  You'll need help picking it up!!
DAMHIK....

Cheers!
Jim

Ryan,=20
Don't sweat the axles unless the splines look twisted or chipped. The later a=
xles are BTA  806 casting, located on the end cap. There was a competition m=
odel...BTA 940(? I think). They are hen's teeth. You've seen my car, I went 1=
2 years without breaking one, even with a welded diff.=20

As far as the diff, they are fairly robust. It should spin freely. Any ratch=
et feeling or like there's sand in them (or cedar chips in them Frank used t=
o put in there to sell a car ;) ) and move on. The front pinion seals do lea=
k, it's cheap seal to get, relatively easy to change if you have an impact w=
rench (the nut torque is like 200 foot pounds; just tighten the shit out of i=
t and it's fine; my rule of thumb is 5 clicks after your harbor freight elec=
tric impact gun (fav tool, btw) runs out of steam!).  You can check backlash=
 if you want, specs are in the book, pretty straightforward to do, but if te=
eth look pristine you're probably ok.=20

Price should be $75 to $125. I just paid $150 for a pristine welded one from=
 Spridgetech.=20

Hope that helps -

I have a Harbor Freight Earthquake 1/2" pneumatic impact.  It works better
than MOST of the other impacts in the shop.  The only ones that outperform
it are the Snap On and similar brands that cost about 8 times as much.  I
brought my MAC 1/2" impact home and use the HF at work.

Ryan,

When you say performance, are you asking if it will have more power or are
you asking will it have a higher top speed?

The 4.22 rear was in the smaller engine cars (early cars) to augment the
lesser power achieved by the smaller engine.  The later rears were
installed in the later cars as the power of the engines were increased over
the years.

You can install a later rear in the Bugeye and achieve a higher highway
speed but you will loose some acceleration when going thru the gears.  It's
not a difficult swap and is easily reversed if you don't like the
"performance" of the later rear in the early car.

I probably have a 3.9 rear here we could put in your car to see if you like
the swap.  You could then source one for your car ;)  The one I have is
going in my next build in mid-summer but I am willing to loan it to you and
I will help you change it ;)

3.7:1 from late 1500 cars
4.55:1 from Morris Minors ( I believe) that many autocrosser's use

You only need the Differential which goes inside the pumpkin and rear axle.=
  As Derf said you want one that has 10/39 on the top of the differential c=
ase but check yours first to see which you have now!  There were at least 3=
 available. Early cars were 4.22 to 1=2C  then there is 3.9 to 1 and the sh=
orter 4.22 to 1.  The 4.22 is great for autocross -  the taller geared 3.77=
 for highway use.  As was noted=2C the taller gears are getting hard to fin=
d and usually demand a suitable hunk of cash.
If you find a 3.9 or 3.77 that's inside a rear axle case and the seller won=
't part it out=2C buy the whole thing.  You'll need help picking it up!!   =

I think some pre-1500 Spridgets had 3.9s.  Pretty sure my 72 and 74 Midgets
were 3.9 and they were certainly 1275s.
