Re: Questions about a Gas to Diesel conversion for a '72
I haven't checked,but I figure my '85 Jimmy 6.2/700r4 came through with 3.08s. I never drove it to check mileage before going with 3/4t 4.10 axles with 35" tires. That puts my ratio at right about 3.73,based on the stock 3/4t 235/85 tires at about 31". That stuff came from my '91 Suburban 6.3/4L80E which got 22 mpg on hiway with all that. These things have more low end torque than most give credit. 1800 rpm would be a breeze to this NA motor.
