K20 Gear Ratio Question
Anybody know the standard gear ratio for a 72 K20 w/ auto transmission? It seems pretty low-geared on the highway, and I'm thinking I may want to swap the gears out for something a little more highway friendly. Any suggestions on a replacement ratio?

Re: K20 Gear Ratio Question
Cool, thanks Tim! That's what I was thinking it was supposed to be, but I couldn't find the verification anywhere.

That's the tallest gears you get with that rear.

Re: K20 Gear Ratio Question
Nope, its the round cover GM 10 bolt rear end. I'll probably just get used to them. I have the 70 2wd C10 that I'll probably do the bulk of my highway driving in anyway!
