There was a narrow and wide ratio 833's, reference our resident manual transmission supplier's websites for applications but I thought that the narrow ratio was for T/A cars and wide became everything else in the non-hemi versions. Tim

Didn't those have a different 1st gear? 3.09 first. My '84 D100 came with 3.21 and a 195-75x15. It now has a 3.91SG with a 235-75x15 tire, overall ratio is about the same.

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Not exactly, A833OD and six cylinder A833's had a 3.09 first gear, the rest nope. I need to improve my reading comprehension. I read the question as 1st gear ratio for a 833od. The 2.44/2.47/2.66 ratio on 833's will be fine with a 2.94 gear. A .25 difference in 1st gear ratio or a .10 change in rear gear ratio shouldn't create excessive clutch wear. The Munchie M-22 "rock crusher" GM used only had a 2.20 1st. A body 833 V8 up to '66 also had a 3.09 1st.

in case you missed it... 3.23 was a standard axle ratio for A body 4 speed cars. Didn't those have a different 1st gear?
