I thought about other transmissions but didn't mention them as their all a pretty hefty amount of money by the time you get done. Also, remember he has a big block so a 46RH won't bolt up without an adapter or bell housing change. Again a lot of money. There are a lot of ways to get there, if ya got the money, LOL

Too true, I though it would be a long shot, but decided to let him know options anyway.

Thinking out loud, for the speeds he's wanting to go, if he used the the 2.76 with a 26.5 tire, going 80mph, He would only be running 300rpm more than if he had a .69 OD with 3.55's and the same tire.

2819 vs 2502, 3k with 2.94. Sounds like a wash to me.

Gears are cheap to play with compared to the more exotic solutions. Especially since he already has some, and sounds like he knows how, and has the tools to to install em'.

There's something to play with.


...although, he would be at 2k with 2.94's and a .69 OD... :snakeman:

Damn out loud thinking!!! ;)
