Thread: Rear Gears

  1. #1

    Default Rear Gears

    I'm curious what gears would have most likely come in an '84 LX 5.0 5-speed?

    I currently have 2.26 gears in my rear end and need to swap them out before I burn up my clutch. Anyone know what I should look for or have suggestions on what gears would work well?

    3.08 perhaps. Might get lucky with a 3.45 ratio.
