Can anyone tell me for sure if the 5th gear is an actual overdrive?

Technically, if it's higher (lower number) than 1:1 it's considered overdrive, which it is.Comment

So in theory the Festy/Aspire swappers have the potential to achieve really good mileage with their 13-15 inch wheels?Comment

Is the Aspire 5 speed geared differently than the Festy? Or is the Speedo gear just different to make up for the different sized wheels?1963 Fairlane - future NSS drag car
