R160 ring gear into '77 R200 ?

[WingZr0]

Like to know if a R160 Ring and Pinion Gear will swap directly into

a R200.

If so are there any inherent defencies doing so?

Don't even waste any more time thinking about this, as it will not work.

The '160' in R160 ( and the '200' in R200 ) refers to the diameter of the ring gear in mm. Even if you could find a way to get the R160 ring gear to sit in an R200 case, it would 20mm further away from the pinion than the R200 ring gear was. And that's not even going into the problem you would face trying to mate an R160 ring gear to an R200 pinion ( or fitting an R160 pinion into an R200 case ).

If you did manage to get the whole thing buttoned up, and without too many parts left over, the best that you could hope to get out of it would be a sound rather like steam locomotives having sex for about five seconds, and then total silence.........

WoW

Considering I'm a train buff I know exactly what you mean

So I guess that takes the idea of gutting a 4.6 R160 I saw on Ebay and

throwing it out the window.
