So my intentions are to use
1. Toyota Hiace front uprights brakes etc.
2. graft a Ron champion style rear end on a Haynes chassis with a Toyota Van live axle and brakes .

My only concern is what ratio to use as most of the hiace here are diesel.

any comments welcome .
Bike engine with a diesel rear end?
