Re: Borg Warner super t10 in place of 3 speed
About the gear ratios, I found the info below on the 3-speeds. 0-3 are the number of grooves on the input shaft. I would guess your six-cyl trans is 3.11 or 3.50, assuming it's original.
.................................1st 2nd 3rd Saginaw 3-speed – 1 2.54 1.50 1.00 Saginaw 3-speed – 0 2.85 1.68 1.00 Saginaw 3-speed – 2 3.11 1.84 1.00 Saginaw 3-speed – 3 3.50 1.89 1.00 So compare total torque multiplication (1st gear ratio X rear axle ratio) to see which one will work best.
