4 speed questions

While not optimal as a drag race tranny for the short stroke engines I really enjoy my A833OD behind a 324 CID with swirl ports and a decent cam (292/455) headers etc. The 3.55 gear or lower is the trick. Still a broad span and it does lug if you don't stretch it out but very nice manners. Seems like there are two different O.D. ratios though. Yours may be the higher one. I had 2.45 gears before and it was like driving NASCAR.... I was about to shift into O.D. one night at high RPM when I remembered what tires were on the car..... :O
