greg g Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Did you check the resource or technical areas on the Imperial Club website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Dodgeb4ya Posted May 31, 2023 Solution Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 It's a 3.54 ratio for the std. 131" WB C49 Imperial 4 dr. ...same as a 1950 NewYorker and Saratoga with the Prest-O-Matic transmission and FD. The Crown Imperial...too rare to discuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel M.Tiburcio Posted June 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 Thank you guys it was barely readable on the pumpkin. Now another question? I want to change the rear-end ratio from a 3:54 to something alot higher ratio 2:76 or 2:94 thank you in advance, Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kencombs Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 I don't think you will find a pumpkin tha fits the housing in a ratio that high. time to measure the old unit and go salvage shopping for a complete rear axle. What engine and trans are you running that requires such a ratio? Just curious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel M.Tiburcio Posted July 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 350ci w/ 350 turbo, Car is completely stock in appearance thank you confirmed its 3:54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kencombs Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 Might be easier and maybe cheaper (only if you can find used) to change the trans to an OD. Maybe a 200-4r as they are smaller and more efficient that the 400. But the 3.54 isn't bad. That was my goto ratio back when I really like brisk acceleration but needed to drive it to work too.
