Ok, here goes. I have a 64 Wagonaire that originally was a six cylinder with a three speed o/d trans.
It now has a 259 V/8 from a 64 Cruiser with a three speed o/d trans.
I'm upgrading the front end with new springs & Turner front disc brake kit.
The rear still has the model 27 gear with 4:10 ratio. And the small brakes.
I have a Dana 44 rear from a 56 Stude car. It has 3:31 gears in it.
I was thinking 3:73 gears would be good for this swap. I won't be towing anything, just a daily driver and mostly highway driving.
I'm open to hear others thoughts.. And if the gears for the Dana 44 are the same thru the years? I don't have parts book for 56 Studes.
