I have:
85 F150 orig. owner.
Swapped out 300/6 for 95 302 HO crate.
AFB, recurved dist. MSD 6al.
3-sp auto that came w/the 6. (C4/5?)
3.08 rear end.
I've got to do something w/ the rear end ratio. It's a real dog from a dead stop. At first I thought about a 4.11, but I think that would give me very bad gas mileage, while i'd be waiting awhile for a AOD. I'm thinking more along the 3.50 range. Can't find a whole rear end locally so I'm gonna have to change the gears myself. Can this be done without pulling the entire rear? This is a street truck, no drags but i'd like to leave a stop light quicker than my 30yr. old Porsche..
