What was the standard gearing on a 1971 340 Cuda?
8 3/4 and a 727 trans.
Thanks

3.23 open

3.55 & 3.91 as options (with standard Sure-Grip)

It's also intereting to note that a 2.76 ratio was available with the 340 auto. I have a copy of the Aug 71 computer dump of the options ordered on US shipped Barracudaa and it doesn't show that anyone opted for this in the US market.

As an aside the 2.76 was also avaialable on 383 4 barrel with auto and the printout shows that .1% of CUDA hardtops had this which amounts to probably 5 cars.
