So I have a ‘59 235ci that I plan on putting a T-5 behind. I calculated a 3.73 gear ratio into a RPM equation and ended up finding an cruising rpm of approximately 2300. Now that’s with an overdrive of .68 from what I found looking up T-5 transmissions. I’m sure they have other OD gear ratios, but that’s the one that I found.

What gear ratio came with ‘59 3200?

What gear ratios are possible in ‘59 3200?

What make/model rear end will transplant easily, or with minimal modification, that has 3.73 gear ratio?

I have searched the forum but can’t seem to choose the correct keywords to find what I’m looking for. I know it’s mentioned a lot here, just looking for the right post or suggestions if you have them.

Thank you.
