Re: Trans options for carb'd 5.3

It is not a hotrod, if it does not have the 3rd peddle! I run a stock (carbed) 5.3, 6spd Richmond box? 3.40 cogs in the back, 3.28 1st gear....2nd to 5th, close to a 2.20 Muncie.....76 on the OD ratio. cruise in OD, is 3100@105 mph, on a 29 " tire! You have to love the "screamin gears" under the old truck longhorn
