Gary,
I don't think I'll go for any gearbox changes, but Fred Sisson wrote
up some ideas about using a Jaguar/Moss 'box with overdrive. It's in
his "Notes from a Morgan Garage". I believe the issue with this setup
is the very short drive shaft.
Also, there used to be a 4/4 in the Rochester, NY area that had a TR3
engine and gearbox with overdrive transplant. +4/4OD?

Steve...
I to am looking to get some sort of cruising ratio for my +4. I will
soon be replacing the engine with a slightly modified unit. Instead of
going to a different rear ratio I intend to try to modify a later model
5 speed to fit. I have done this with some success on other cars but the
Morgan with it's remote gearbox location should be a challenge. If you
or anyone else in the group is interested we can collaborate on this
project.
