which would you do?
I currently have a ford 8.8 limited slip rear with 3.73 gearing. it is stock with drum brakes.
I can get a 69 camaro rear with aftermarket axles, posi or limited slip... and 4.56 gears for next to nothing. Here is what my concern is... Rear End Ratio: 4.56 @ Desired MPH: 65 Tire Diameter (Height) in Inches: 27 Over Drive Ratio (1 for no OD): .7 RPM at Given MPH: 2582 Rear End Ratio: 4.56 @ Desired MPH: 75 Tire Diameter (Height) in Inches: 27 Over Drive Ratio (1 for no OD): .7 RPM at Given MPH: 2979 It is still under 3k so it seems like it should be ok. right? normally the truck will be an around town cruiser but I will be driving it to the coast and vegas some too. EDIT...part of the appeal of the camaro rear is that it is the same bolt pattern as the front.
