David's point re the 32 arm positioning the drag link below the frame is very pertinent. While the logic of the idea is sound, (although some seem to be making statements the opposite of what would be true) the reality might be that the options are limited in a 32 due to the positioning of the drag link.

I believe the standard procedure is to use later parts to give the lower ratio which is completely undetectable visually. (15:1 rather than 13:1).

Or put a Hudson, F1 or F100 in it. Or as in my 33, a 37 turned on it's side, filled with RHD guts.
