ah you have the m42 overdrive gear box thats what i converted mine to before the spigot bearing siezed
you will find that engine slightly slugish on that box is it intercooled or stright turbo
i found the one with no intercooler what i took the m42 to be very very fast and sharp but when i put the box on mine it made it slightly slugish but when in overdrive it picked up like mad
also if it is still good pushed to the limit you should be looking at least 110mph out of it mine would sit at 115mph no problems
