Re: Rear differential suggestions

I have what you definitely dont want on my truck. i bought it this way, and since i only drive it around the neighborhood, i havent made changing the rear end gearing a priority,,
i have a SBC 350 from a 1977 truck. 3 speed saginaw tranny on the floor. rear is a 1975 GM rear with 4.11 gears.

between 0 - 40mph is alot of fun. 50mph is about the fastest i ever drive it if i make a short run on the highway. thats with the rpms around 2000. to avoid having the engine screaming all the way , i press the clutch all the way, so i can coast a bit.

i either need two or three more gears and the same rear, or new rear gears and same tranny. i kinda like the manual tranny, but ive also considered going to an automatic with overdrive
