Are there lower final drive ratios available for a 901 trans?... Yes, I said lower. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

There was 3 R/P in the 901 type 7:31, 8:31, and 7:27.
I got this info here

I thought I had heard of the 8:31 but the problem for this discussion is that it's even taller than the 7:31, not shorter per the original question. And - although there's a passing reference in that article - it too shows no application, so we don't know where it was used and there is no part number.

ETKA shows 901.302.902.00 as a 6:29 r&p so there's another flavor heard from... It shows a 912 application but at 4.833:1 is a bit shorter even than the ubiquitous 7:31

So the 8:31, like the 6:32 may be a Motorsports item. Another place to check for early (vintage...) race parts would be Steve Weiner's shop in Portland. (Rennwerk? I should know this but it is eluding me tonight...)**

**finally came to me - Rennsport Systems...

a 912-issue 6:29 might show up someplace like PartsHeaven. My recollection is that all the 6-tooth pinions were a bit on the fragile side but I don't know the intended application here...
