The 4.11 rear gear ratio is not compatible with our planned usage of the car. Most major shows are several hours from our location in Wisconsin. We will run the car at least once this spring at our local drag strip--Kaukauna.
The rear end is quiet and the posi works great. We're thinking 3.23 would work with the 3500 converter, but allow highway speeds when traveling to shows.
What are your thoughts?
Back in the day ... my buddy had 4.11's and i had 3.3? /w both Safetrack. He did bunny hops in his and he came with me when we drove to Montana for skiing. Mine was fine on highway.
BTW, I'm putting in tri power in my 65 Pontiac Cat /w 389. Got "boat" loads of room so she will be a sleeper!
