I have a 347 with a TK0500 in my 1979 Fairmont wagon. I am rebuilding the rear end now. I am currently running a 8.8 with 3.27 gears. I am replacing the gears along with clutches and bearings. My problem is- I cant decide what gear ratio to use. I have Bullit wheels on it with 245/45/17 tires (25.68'' tall). The first gear in TKO500 transmissions is 3.27. I have a brand new set of FRPP 3.73 gears but I am afraid first gear will be useless coupled with the 3.27 gear in the transmission. Any suggestions? Thanks!
