I suppose you already know about the Sanginaw and their identifying "rings" etched into the input shaft. I used to run a 3 ring with the 3.50 first gear and that thing was too low for a 3.08 even. I used to run a 2.76 rear with it and it was well suited upon take off, but it was just too much gear for a 283 in the hills. 4th was like being in OD.

Edit: that's a good article Geezer.
