Q's for my Fellow Mopar Brothers

[63spf]

Ok, I am in the process of moving in the spring perches on my 68 Valiant Signet. I will be shortening an 8.75 rear to fit a set of N50/15s. My Q's is what gear ratio would be best with my /6 and tire size combo. With auto set up? It will be an everyday cruiser with a possible turbo added later. I have a 741 case with a 3.91 suregrip ready to run. but not sure if it's too much gear for the /6. Mahalo for the Help & any and all advice is much appreciated, C

3.55-3.91 sounds good to me.
Run the 3.91, it'll have the best 'around town' get go.

N-50s with a slant six ???

 

[33IMP]

With that much tire, and a /6, you'll need the 3.91s. Run em.

Ya, for now. I might either run a turbo or drop in my fresh 273. might be to much tire for now but i could always drop in more HP later on

Tried these, sbp 14s and I liked the look "BUT"
if I have to spend the time and money to move perches and shorten rear.
I might as well , Go Big or Go Home ! That was what I was always told.

Oh no , they won't fit the Valiant without mini tubs
I was hoping would

 

[oldkimmer]

Lol, u need the tub against the frame rail after u remove the lip on the rail. Then reroute the brake line out if the way. Kim

With mini tub, I can go a little wider maybe

Start from the back, make sure it's up to the power, before slapping in the LS?

Please tell me you’re keeping the slammed stance with the new wider tires.

Of course, same blocks

Sort of a built-in slipper clutch.

Well, maybe not an LS, but im saying it makes sense to start in the back and build up forward
that way your replacing parts at your own pace, and not on the side of the road when they break


but between you and me, those lowering blocks are worse then an LS swap

To a true Mopar Man, nothing is worse than an LS swap.

sure there is, anything diesel for starters

 

[67Dart273]

Just remember that the further in you move the springs, the more body roll you get. Consider adding a rear sway bar, and obviously, a front one if you don't have one now

You got that right! I have respect for those builds, but I'd never do one.
