I have a '51, 1/2 ton, and am setting up for street ride. It has a 216 engine, and just bought an '85 Camaro T5 trans with 0.76 5th gear for $75.
I just found an '86 Camaro rear with a 3.23. When I run the rpm calculator, at 65 mph, I get about 1980 rpm. I can probably get the axle for about $125. Is this a good fit or should I keep looking for a different axle/gear to get me closer to 2200 rpms?
thanks
