I have a 68 Fb with 3.00 traction lok rear .............. I'm planning on a stroker kit and some heads , cam etc for the 302 .......... looking for hp in the 350 -450 range .

the car seems pretty hi geared when I drive it now ............. I believe the car was built with 14" tires , it has 15" tires now .......................... toploader 4 speed


what gear ratio would you go to ? .................. I'm thinking 3.80


Can the ring and pinion be changed out DIY ?................. :headscratch: ........................ with a little research and homework of course ??????????? :headscratch::headscratch::scratchchin

Rear end gear ratio depends on many things like what your tranny is geared at rear tire size and do you want better gas mileage or to take off fast.
