VB 250/360 gearboxes

[All Things 414]

I was just flicking through an old T&T and according to the specs that they have for the '77 250 and 360, they share the exact same ratios for the first four gears. Would this be correct? Jared, Greg?

According to my parts book the ratios are the same on the 250 & 360/414 1st (12/22) 1.833, 2nd (14/20) 1.428, 3rd (16/18) 1.125, 4th (17/16) 0.941 & 5th (250 only) (21/17) 0.809.

Ratios are the same but none of the part numbers are the same and the design is different. 250 has three selector forks (naturally) while the 360/414 has two. Input shaft has fixed gears one the 360/414 while the 250 has removeable 4th and 5th gears.
