For what it's worth, this is the plate on my ZF, a fairly early -zero. It's geared a little lower than the Gulf, with 3rd close to 1:1 but I don't know if that's considered "normal". I haven't checked the calculation on what speed it would have allowed a contemporary GT40 to hit...we're pretty sure it came from a F5000 circa 1967. Were those cars pushing the 200 mph envelope with the 289?
