Hi Rod,
1) There is no real difference between a 173 and a 186 diff. What ratio is your current diff? I'd think a 3.36 or 3.08 would be good for your purposes.
2) The engine should lean back at about 3 degrees with car level.
3) Unless your motor

3.55 and 5 speed is a good combination. The 186 will struggle to push 5th and a 3.08 diff. |

Byron,
I purchased a 202 red with blue crank and rods for my LC GTR (You suggested this combination a while back). I have also purchased a Celica 5-speed and conversion kit. Neither is yet fitted. The car has a 3.08 diff. Will the 202 have sufficient t

Hi David.
Yes, the 202 will drive the 3.08 in 5th, if you keep the camshaft very mild (at or near stock), to maintain the low down torque you will need with that gearing.

Depends on the car Byron. In an LJ, a 186/5 speed/3.08 would be fine for a relatively stock motor. For an HQ, you are right, the better choices will be a 3.55 or 3.36.
Cheers...Dave

You are correct. Also depends upon tyre size. I had a stock 202 and W55 in a HJ with a 3.55. 5th gear combo was excellent with 235/60/14 tyres. |
