Gear Ratio
|
|
I have a 325 hemi in my 1937 Plymouth pickup. Got a 1997 Dodge 5 speed manual trans. I have a 1967 Charger 8 3/4 posi rear end that I am thinking on using. It has 3.23 gears. It was from a car with a V8 4 speed manual trans. I think it had a 383 magnum engine. They were heavier than my pickup. My question is whether this gearing is okay for street and highway driving or do I need lower. Anyone using this ratio without issues? What ratio do you use with standard transmissions in these old toy? I had a 4.11 in another toy with a 4 speed manual and it seemed like I was running a little high on the RPM's on the highways.
