Is anyone running a Gearvenders over/under drive? I’m getting ready to stuff the new 511 cu in bullet my 69 Super Bee and want an overdrive in there with it. The car is primarily street driven but will see some track time.

Have one in a 69 Coronet 440 727. Car has 4:10 gear. Fun on the street and took it to Racine Wis for Power Tour in 2007 from Colorado. No problems.

Dragaddict, that’s what I wanted to hear as my Super Bee is frequently taken on long road trips. It has made the trip from Detroit to Reno for Hot August Nights twice.

I've got one behind my small block with a 904. I have 4.30 gears and with the gearvendor, the final overdrive ratio is 3.35 It's very tolerable on the highway/freeway. The best investment I've made so far

68Bullit, Where are you at in NC? I’m off I-40 about 20 miles into Tennessee. I’m going to give GV a call Monday.

I’ll haggle with them over the shipping when I call them Monday. I just moved down here from Michigan last fall. I’m still trying to figure out where all the reliable MOPAR shops are in the area, so the I may be bugging you from time to time.

Nice serpentine drive. Looks just like mine. Did you get yours from Bill C.?

Best upgrade I ever did to the car. Have over 30,000 trouble free miles on mine in the last 4 years.

Yes, Bill did it. The engine was done by Chuck and the guys at Best Machine Racing Engines.

500Strocker, sounds like you drive your car a lot. That’s what they’re for. Before I got heavy into racing I would put 7,000 to 8, 000 miles on the car every summer. The two trips I made to from Detroit to Reno were each 5,000 mile round trip plus what I put on cruising while in Reno. I’m cutting back on the racing, old age is setting in, so I’m going cruising again.

Yes I do. The GV makes it that much more enjoyable. I have a 3:55 so the GV drops it down to 2:76. Just don't buy into their 6 speed gear splitting marketing. It's very hard to time it correctly with the delay after hitting the foot switch. Then trying to down shift at the same time you are up shifting the tranny.

That’s what I’m looking for, to cruise down the expressway at 75 mph turning 2,400 RPM. What could be cooler? Well maybe doing the ¼ mile in 7.9 sec @ 170 mph in my dragster.

Nice Hemi. Do you know Roy Jakway? Jake lives in Ironwood and is a Ford guy. He has a couple nice Mustangs. We’ve been buddies for 30 plus years.

I have about 30,000 miles on mine, in my GMC 3500 dually, 454 & T400. Not one problem, even towing with it engaged. You might need to fiddle with driveshaft angle. I never bother with the gear splitting deal except occasionally 2nd-over - 3rd under - 3rd over. For all I can tell, the thing is bulletproof.

I've got a GV in a 71 Challenger. It's probably one of the best mods I've ever done to a car. I had it in a D350 pickup for a while, but took it out when I sold the truck, so I could stick it in the Challenger. I bought it from Moparts member Sasquatch (Todd) Check him out before you buy anywhere else.

I was going to go with the GV but chose the 4L60E instead. It has an even higher final ratio than the GV. The GV is .80 and the 4L60E is .70.

If that is true you better get rid of your 727.
