" Both the 151 and the 258 used the SR4 transmission in 1980 according
" to the TSM. The gear ratios, however, are different. 
" 
" Gear  4cyl.  6cyl.
" 1st   4.07   3.50
" 2nd   2.57   2.21
" 3rd   1.66   1.43
" 4th   1.00   1.00
" R     3.95   3.39
" 
" This shouldn't be a problem, but the torque rating of the transmission
" is usually dependent on the physical diameter of the gear, with a
" larger diameter gear (and higher ratio) capable of taking more torque.

i've seen it the other way too - limited by output torque, with the
higher ratio giving more multiplication and leading to lower input
rating.
