whats the Gear Ratio?? i'm going to be putting a 70 500ci in a 79 Malibu wagon here soon and i was woundering what gears i should run because i been reading alot from cadillacperformace and they said it doesnt need alot of gear, So do you think 3.73s is to much?
@Elcamino1980BBC The car has 3.08 gears in it in the videos. I have pu 3.42 gears in it and it didn't make much difference. I wouldn'trun 3.73s behind a 500 cadillac.
@Elcamino1980BBC yes, gears are based around a 28" tire. 3.73 would be ok for a drag oriented car. If no oversized valves or no headwork is done that would be the absolute max gear I would use. More gear is basicly helps with motors that lack the torque to get a car moving from a stop fast. these long stroke, smallish port motors are all torque.
@superglidedyna,, Thats what i though, And yeah i know they are Torque monsters my cousin has one in his 4x4 chevy and he has never had to put it in 4x4 to pull thinks out of the mudd or snow.. So what rear end are you running under that Cadillac??
