Are you sure the ratio is the same, the books I looked in made out the 2000 & 2200 had the same ratio, the V8 being able to handle a higher gear and still accelerate - I was thinking of shoving a v8 diff in my 2000 to drop the revs - its so slow anyway as its an auto I dont mind waiting another 2 minutes to get up to 70ish on the motorway!
