wish I had a motor that needed 6.14 gears to get it buzzing

It does take a different mindset because you'd think that'd be WAY too low but it's perfect(.4 mile high banked dirt track) 360 9-1 CR 2bbl by class rules & at the end of the straights it is still pulling strong at over 6400. Those Hughes cams are awesome.

whoohoo with a 2-v

and what hughes cam is that?

yeah I thought it'd be laying down at that point. It's one of Daves oval track grinds I don't know the # right offhand but he definitely has my business

I know you want to keep it all mopar but your best bet is to put a 9" under it and then you can get gears all the way to 7.33. I used 7.00 in my SS on a 3/8 mile dirt. about 6500 at the turn in.89-92 in tire. what really works well is a full floater rear from a modified.If u have any swapmeets or auctions in your area now is the time and u can probably pick one up for what the mopar pig would cost.

I swear I have a 2.72 gearset in a 742 housing from a very early '60's Chrysler. The older pre '60's cars had some unique gear choices, didn't they? I've seen some odd ratios (example 3.36).

count those teeth

A 2.4 ratio was also available for 8 3/4" rears.

sent you a e mail robert

got it

Robert, I could send you a picture of it, but there are alot of mopar parts in the way, getting to it. Do you really want me to dig it out? The numbers are stamped in the gear set. Every time I've had to dig through that area of the garage, I look at the ratio because I too, find it hard to beleive.

No bro please dont & in no way should my ramblings ever be construed as fact or to be taken as motivation to do something that is not absolutely neccessary.

Prohibit a floater for safty conserns??? That is one of the reasons for a floater. If a axle brakes the wheel still stays on the car.Have u ever seen a 10bolt chevy lose an axle(C-clip)? I've seen them go over the catch fence wheel tire and axle. Very dangerous. At the last track I raced at the promoter finlly got smart after a near fatal axle loss and made floaters leagle and rear discs manditory in an atempt to reduce the amount of lost wheels and axles.
Good luck with the ear surch. You may have to bite the bullet and run in 2nd gear (3sp) to get the final drive u need.

I was thinking that floaters were not allowed but I may have that backwards. One season I did run in 2nd with an A230. Right now I am using a 904 in D with the furd 6.20's & I am hoping that toplescuda will be reasonable with me so that I can get that furd out of there then my next plan is to run a 904 in manual 2 & 4.10 gears in a 7&1/4. Everybody tells me that it wont hold up but I am driven to do it & loosing ~100 lbs of unsprung weight is going to be a killer. the spiders are the weakest part & they will be welded solid(which is std procedure) so I am confident
