For those thinking about the five speed swap here are some MPH ranges for my
5 speed with my engine

The following is the APPROXIMATELY effective MPH range for the five speed
European tranny with a .70 Fifth gear
Minimum RPMS @2000 to max @5600

First          0-20  (RPMS idle to 5600)
Second         10-40
Third          25-55
Fourth         35-80 YES (I had it to 75 MPH Today @5000RPMs @ 25%
throttle)
Fifth          50-???  My RPMs @70 are 3200 RPMs
(Pulls OK from 50 on flat road if hilly I keep it in fourth until 60 MPH)

IMHO If the area that you live in has hills and mountains I would go with a
.77 fifth if you increase the engine power.  If not and it is hilly keep the
stock .85 or .82 gearing.
