Which gears for my setup
New here, figured now time to ask a question.
I got my 1969 C10, Im running a 327 at est hp 375-400, and a th400. (1st 2.48, 2nd 1.48, 3rd 1.00) And a GM 12 bolt. The question is what tire size and gears should I run with a 2/4 drop. I want mild, street/strip. And have a shot at 15 mpg highway. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance |

![]() and a 3.73 gear would be good for street/strip i think, as far as tire size maybe something like a 28in or so tall tire

Re: Which gears for my setup
if it's an honest 375 - 400 horse, you'll need the 3.73 to keep it in the power range at all... and forget about 15 MPG, you'll be more like 8 - 10 MPG
If it's a more reasonable 300-ish, then I'd go with a 3.07 gear myself. Even then, 15 MPG may be too much to expect. |
