Flatheadgasser Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Hi all just got my 41 dodge luxury liner back form having lots of work done on my fluid drive ringgear starter and service, it now start's run drive's and is a real pleasure to use, my question is I think my rear axle ratio is 4.3:1 and it's sounds like it's revving quite hard at about 45 to 55 mph I would like to change the rear axle ratio to somewhere in the region 3.60:1 or there abouts, does anybody know where I could get this sort of gear set from is there a supplier that you know about. Cheers Damon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Damon I bought a set of NOS 3:73 gears from a guy on ebay a few years back for my 42 Dodge coupe,so there should be some out there. I doubt you will find any factory gear ratios higher than that,though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they have a "want to buy" section, post an ad there telling people what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
