I priced an 091 set recently at $1095 Australian + p&p. These gears are
welded, wider than stock and come with a larger-diameter mainshaft. The
case may break, but these gears won't. About any ratios you like, and I
think their tallest top-gear ratio is 0.72 (though my 094 had an NZ-made
0.63 5th).
