Also some of the bigger rover shops bring in lots of cool stuff all the time.
That's where I found mine!

I have one. Cross drilled shaft. New seals. New bearings. Gone through. But the shipping would be murder.

Not necessarily. I got mine from Cali freighted by fastenal for $150. If you ask me that's pretty reasonable for how much the damn thing weighs

What's stock for NAS V8's? I'll need to knock a few hundred rpm's off my highway revs when the diesel goes in - thinking the 1.003 might do the trick.

1.2 is the v8 lowest ratio then 1.4 and 1.6, and yeah I figure shipping at 1- 150 no matter where it comes from but I have a loading dock ship to Maddy so that does make it a little cheaper

Hmmm... has anyone ever seen a 1.003 here in the states? Ideas where I could look?

Did the calculations and that hi range ratio would be perfect for my 6.2 torque curve. We're talking ~28-30mpg highway trips y'all.

You can get gear sets for any of the ratios from Ashcroft.
Ashcroft Transmissions - LT230 ratio changes

at current exchange rate for those gears is $340 usd+ shipping ouch + says you may need an additional gear depending on your t case for the 1.4 set at an additional 45-65 sterling
which is upwards of about another $100 usd
thats good to know, they do have a calculator there though to figure out what you need ratio wise

Yep, just ran the calc. and 1.003 running stock diff ratios and 31" tires (235/75's) lands perfectly in the 1963 rpm @ 70mph. Pretty much perfect.

Although with shipping the ashcroft gear would cost more then my entire engine swap...
