You cant ask the top speed of an engine, it depends on the gearbox.
I seriously doubt it! |

garry, top speed will depend on a few factors

Count the teeth on the crownwhhel and divide that figure by the amount of teeth on the pinion, do the calculations depending on wheel size and engine revs to get top speed
I seriously doubt it! |

This website takes the maths out of working out your top speeds etc, but you will still need to know your final drive. http://www.guess-works.com/Gearbox/Technical/ratio.htm On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

About mid to high 15s on the quarter if you hook up the start well with that ratio I seriously doubt it! |
