Ford 9" gear ratio question
Hi, I'm new to the site and just beginning to put together a 1951 3100 for a daily driver/cruiser. I just got the frame back from being sand blasted and am ready to start the Mustang II crossmember installation. I plan to put a 4-Link in it and found a Ford 9" rearend last week with a brand new unused disc brake setup already on it. I plan to put a 4.8 or 5.3 LS engine in it with a 4L60E transmission and need to know if the 3.00 gear ratio currently in the 9" will work or if there is a ratio that would be better for the more economical application I want. Also, this is a great site and I look forward to taking advantage of the collective knowledge and experience of those of you who have "been there and done that" with your classic Chevrolet trucks.
