Re: Running Gear
The term 'running gear' refers to the entire front and rear suspension, differential, etc.
It sounds like you are referring to the differential gear? The most common differential gear is a 3.73. With your 3 speed with OD, the rpm's shouldn't be too bad. What size rear tires are you running? The OD of the rear tires will make a difference in engine rpm's at a given speed. Changing your gears to 3.42's will drop your rpm's a few hundred and you will still have decent takeoff from a stop. A set of 3.07's will drop the rpm's a noticeable amount, but your takeoff performance will suffer some with the 283 not producing good low end torque.
