Re: Rear end question

What motor and tranny are you going to use? What size tires will you be running? I'm running a sbc 350 with Muncie M21 4 speed. I put in the Ford 8.8 with posi and 3.73 gears with current tires being 25" in diameter. Unfortunately it's geared too low. I can smoke the tires in every gear and get great holeshots but can't cruise the freeway comfortably. I ordered up some 3.08s which are going in on Saturday. When these tires are done I'm going to jump up to 30-32" diameter to add rake and more cruisability.
