Thanks Dave, I'll definitely grab this and try it out. I'll also check out
your site.

Exactly, the Ambo has a 8/35 (8 teeth on pinion 35 teeth on ring gear) that
results in a 1.4375:1 ratio

The Eldo has a 8/37 resulting in a 1.4625:1 ratio

I've done it many times, I like it the ratio will be a tad bit lower which
is
really not noticeable (IMHO), the 5 speed rear holds more oil and runs
cooler.

have any comments on this combination? The price is right for the final
drive, so if I can make it work, I will.

Thanks,
