That was the original gear in my 74 Duster360. I went to 3.55:1 and really didn't notice that much difference, other than higher rpms on the highway . . . stock E58 360, 727 auto with factory stall convertor (approx. 2600rpm), and 235/60/14 tires. . . .

Before taking trip to Carlisle in 1999, change complete rear end out, for one from Gold Duster, with 2.45:1 gear !! YEAH !! I like to drive long distances, and this makes a great package, rpms are about 2600 RPM @ 70 mph, 22mpg all day long !! . . . haven't changed em since !

Gotta look at what you are using your car for, and build it for you !!!

Cheers
