3.07 posi rear end with:
How would this rear end match up with a th350 and 350 motor in a 72 4x4 blazer?
Other option is with a 69 292 power glide set up? It would be nice to have that extra tire spinning on some of the hunting trips I go on. Thanks. |

Re: 3.07 posi rear end with:
What gear do you have in the front axle? And what diameter tires?

Re: 3.07 posi rear end with:
It's my experience, many of the 350/350 setups I have come across in Blazers had 3.07/3.08 standard.
I have seen a few 3.73 combo's too, but as mentioned you need to match the front & rear.

Like I say other option if not doable for blazer is on my 69 with a 292 with power glide and stock tires. |

Re: 3.07 posi rear end with:
Base model diff ratio in a 350 powered 4x4 '71-'72 would have been 3.07 gears while the optional gear was 3.73. I own (2) '72 Jimmys about 1200 serial #'s apart. Mine I learned to drive in is a 4 speed and came with 3.07. The other one that will eventually be my 10 year olds "project" is 3.73 and an auto.
What size tire do you have is a great question. IMO, 3.07 just isn't enough gear for 33" tires. 3.73 is ideal for that and 4.10 for 35's.

Re: 3.07 posi rear end with:
Agree on the size of the tires,
I have a 75 Blazer with a 4 spd/205 so, (same 1:1 final ratio) and 3.07 gears, running 33's. Sucks around town and on even seemingly minor hills, but great running down the freeway..

Re: 3.07 posi rear end with:
3.07 is not too bad as long as your tires are no bigger than 31" with stock trans
just put the t/c in low range when you have to get with it
