Thread: Gear Vendors Overdrive in my '32 Ford???

Tweet

I like the O/D but with your engine ... I believe a 2.69 is too high and will possibly lug the engine. Most camshaft manufactures list the best RPM cruise range for their cams. Do you know yours ?

Also ... I have a 400 Turbo in my 32 Roadster and the driveshaft is only a little over 27 inches ( if I remember correctly ) ... the Gear Vendors unit is fairly long and fairly large ... would you have enough room for one ??



I went with a 700R4 in my 3W ... to get the O/D

....Deuce, The operating range of my cam starts at 2200 RPM so I should be ok there. And my builder suggested the GV overdrive and he's built quite a few '32's so that shouldn't be a problem.... Nice looking frame your working on .... Thanks for the imput .... bill

@ 75 MPH ... your engine will be below 2200 RPM ... barely I would go lower in the rear end gearing ... a 3.89 or a 4.10
just my nickel ...
