English term or phrase: Gear (en este caso)

John is planning on getting a big block for the Chevelle. I don’t think he’s found one yet, but either way we need find out what gears are in this rear end so we know if we have enough GEAR for this big block.

!Gracias de antemano!

gear (en este caso) [suficientes] cambios [para este motor]

Explanation:
1) Entiendo que "this rear end" es la caja de velocidades (gear) existente del auto, atrás del motor
2) Entiendo que el "block" es el nuevo motor ("engine block")
3) Y que la preocupación es que la caja de velocidades existente proporcione los cambios adecuados para ese nuevo motor.

Example sentence(s):

Often transmission refers simply to the gearbox that uses gears and gear trains to provide speed and torque conversions from a rotating power source to another device.
The base of a reciprocating internal combustion engine is the engine block which is typically made of cast iron or aluminium.
