Jeff,

I was wrong, when I said I didn't have the info.  I found it.  Well, nobody is
perfect.

The Borg-Warner T-10 was in the first production Tiger Mark I, B9470001 built in
April of 1964.  The ratios were: !st - 2.20; 2nd- 1.62; 3rd- 1.20; and 4th, of
course, 1.0.

Beginning with B9470057 (not too many later) the HEH-E Top Loader was 
substituted,
with 1- 2.32, 2- 1.69, 3 1.29, and 4- 1.0.

The Mk II had the HEH-B with 1st- 2.78, 2nd-  1.93, 3rd-  1.36, and 4th-  1

This was the best (in my opinion) happy combination with the 2.88 rear end for
good off-the-line acceleration, and good cruising rpm.

Hope this helps.

Steve
