New to the list (now final drive question)

[Roa, Greg]

Ok, now as I am contemplating a turbo swap, I have a silly question.
I believe that the 5ktq has a higher final drive ratio than the 4kq (lower
number 3.xx vs 4.11).  Is there any way to swap trannys between the two, or
change final drive ratios?
I would think that it would be difficult on a awd car, but I have no
experience with trans internals...  Wonder if it is something that I should
have contemplated when I did my clutch a couple of months ago.....

Anyhow, just thinking that it would be nice to have some higher legged
gearing if I have a turbo 5 in the car.

Sound slike you've got all the bases covered.  Hope the project goes
well for you, sounds interesting!
