I have 68 FB Fish with 340, 11:01, ported iron heads, 245,250 @050. 550/575 lift solid Hughes cam, eddy street tunnel ram w/600 holleys. It has 4:56 SG gears right now ( very well mannered on the street ). I need to be able to drive it further than in town sometimes. Heres my thoughts. I have a 3:23 open rear that I can swap into it for crusing and swap back to 4:56 if I can get to the strip. Do you think the 3:23 is to high and would it cause clutch problems getting it off the line? I would probably keep the 3:23's in most of the time till I can afford say 3:55's to 4:10's.
I have thought about taking the SG out of the 4:56's and putting it in the 3:23's and either putting in a spool or welding the spiders in the 4:56. Anyone have any experience with the welding aspect? I just don't have the money to buy the perfect 3rd member or O.D. Thanks for your thoughts, Kevin
