My stock stroke mild 360 build ;)

The NP435 was produced with at least two different ratios;
4.78-2.39-1.37-1.00 splits of .50-.57-.73
6.69-3.34-1.79-1.00 splits of .50-.54-.56
That granny gear is NOT synchronized, which means it takes a trick to get back into it, on the downshift. Without it, second gear might be a bit of a stretch......
Corrected to a 24" tire, the second gears math to
4.10 x2.39 x24/33=7.13, and
4.10 x3.34 x24/33=9.96
OOPs I guess not,lol. At least not for the engine you are building.

ok so in summary, what does that mean? What are ya trying to tell me? Lol.
Too much of an engine for a slow shifting truck trans?
Not sure which gear set I have, I should know, my brother and I rebuilt the damned thing.
Might be the lower geared unit. Think it was more common.
