Andrew Bird does a 4 speed close ratio conversion for heavy saloons, and this is what I have in one of our RN saloons, and I like it, coming up to a corner I just change down into third and give some whellie, whereas with a standard 4 speed you either chug round in top and scream the nuts off the engine in third. Also on those long gradual hills it will accelerate up into top. It also handles Malcolm Parker's Pennine run and the likes with ease. Initially I tried a Nippy conversion but that was no good lifting first, second & third too high.
