I seem to remember the Fords having a 3.00:1, or possibly a 2.85:1 rear end in some of them. I just put a clutch in one a couple of months ago, and the setup hasn't gotten a bit better with age. Back in the early 80's, I used to swap rear end gears to 3.55's to get some pulling power for my friends who tried to tow bass boats with those rigs. They would burn out clutches on launch ramps regularly.
