If one wheel was stationary, double the driveshaft turns and you have the ratio. Yours is 3.5, or whatever Chevy ratio is really close to that. There's a 3.23 and 3.08 gears available.Or an OD trans will work with what you have.
Install a 700R4 and you will rev 30% less at any speed. SO you will rev 2100 rpm at 65 mph with the same tires you have now. Plus you will be able to roast the tires even more off the line. The 700 has a 3.06 first gear whereas the 350 tranny has a 2.56.
My guess is that he has 3.42 gears. They were a common ratio.**)Quote:
