I used a 56 pumpkin and went from 4.11 to a 3.90. Not the best but and improvement.
...and I have read the post about the 3.55 ring/pinion set from Patricks...BUT I have read that a rearend from a Dodge Dakota already has a 3.55 rearend but not sure what year. But, as mentioned it would mean changing the tranny since the torque tube is gone.
I wish I had know about the Dakota rearend as I could have used it on my panel...if the width is good.
Just idea's here so hope some of this helps. | | |
