Re: [FWDLK] Differential choice

[David Homstad <Dhomstad@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Karl,

If you really want to make it a fun car, change the rear ratio to a 4.33 and
change the transmission to a Mopar 518 overdrive. More go in low and an even
lower rpm in overdrive than a 3.23. The final ratio would feel like a 3.03
in overdrive. With a 4.11 rear, in overdrive it would be like a 2.88.

If you had the choice, what would you do?  Change the ring and pinion in a
sure grip rear end to get a lower (numerical) ratio, or swap out the entire
carrier assembly?

I want to go from a 3.55 to a 3.23 and am willing to give up a little
performance so I can "cruise the interstates" along with the Hondas and the
Toyotas at 75 mph without having to be pushing 4 grand on the tach.
