Changing gears?

[502 JET]

Is it possible for the top and bottom gears (1.12's) in a Casale split case to be switched around?
If they can be switched around and were what would happen?
Which gear belongs on top/input gear?

[beaverfab]

Yes but the smaller gear should be on the output and the large on the input(top)

Instead of being overdriven now you would be underdriven. You would have a drive ratio of .88 to 1. In other words the prop would be turning only 88% of one turn when the engine turns one revolution

[502 JET]

So would it make harder for the engine to rev up or would the rpm's be high and top speed be low?

[V-DRV]

RPM's high - speed low.

OOOOH sounds fun! A vdrive with a gob load of power and a super short gear. You should be able to launch that thing right out of the water about 4 to 5 feet in the air

bet you could launch some valve train parts and maybe a rod or 2.
