Heck ya more gooder!
Tonight I get to mock up the bed and mark the bedside for cutting.. this way I can install the tubs, and measure to get my rear axle narrowed. We'll see how that goes.
I spoke with an old engine machinist today.. He's telling me that I should stay away from the 3.42 rear gear with my 5 speed. The RPMS would be too low and it would lug in 5th, (or I'd shift to 5th at 80MPH). Problem is that's where the 3.27 First gear kind of wants to be.. but then I might as well throw away 5th gear.
Sooo sadly, I'm thinking of selling the 5 speed and running a 4 speed. This way I can get a first gear that works better with the combo and have the rear gear compliment.
Any reason why the 64-66 hood is winning right now? Is it just because I have it or do you guys prefer the look of it?
