anyone know the gear ratio on a 1968 200 ci rearend?

 

lift the rear end......while watching the drive shaft, spin one of the wheels one complete turn and count how many times the drive shaft spins....thats your gear ratio

 

it's either a 3.00 or a 3.20

 

thanks. I've been waiting a long time for someone who knew exactly what it was.

 

I know because I had a '67 with a 200 in it. Is it a manual or an automatic?

 

It was a C4. Since then we've changed it over to a 5.0 and the AOD.

 

Whats up 91gt you live right next door to me i live in kc ks just wanted to say whats up.

 

cool, its nice to see other people close to me with cool cars. Whats up?</P>


</P>

 

I had a tag on my rearend that said 3.20, but mine was a manual and that thing would only do like 90 MPH. Yeah I switched out my 200 and put a 351W in it, but I still have to change the rearend and the front hubs. I'm suprised that little 7.25 rearend hasn't blown up yet.

 

Hey 91GT,</P>


Someone told me that those rearends were pretty strong. Only drawback was the right wheel drive rather than both. You may be able to get some money for it when you swap it out so check your options. </P>


Secondly, did you have drums all around and are you swapping your front hubs for an aftermarket kit or from an existing year of car? I didn't look into it a ton but saw it was pretty expensive to swap my front drums for discs using kits. </P>
