Is there a gear ratio for a v6 vs that is a ratio of 2.78 or lower? Like the old holdens HT etc for highway running.

The gears are exactly the same in live axel and IRS diffs so that’s no problem.

Here's my method of getting the Pinion nut undone.
Used an exhaust clamp and a 1" x 1" wide 6ft long square tube. Exhaust clamp stretched a bit but it saw the job done!
Left just enough room for the 27mm socket and bar to get in there.
Just thought I'd share how I got the pinon nut undone.
