Re: gears

Don't know if they do or not, but even if they do I would venture to say they would not be cheap. I'm not sure what you're wanting to do, but an overdrive transmission would probably be much cheaper and easier if too low of a gear is the problem. A 700R4 will work nicely even with 4.11 or 4.56 gears. Is there something else wrong with the rear end or are you trying to stay with the original transmission?

Re: gears

Gear Vendors is right down the hill from you in El Cajon near Parkway Plaza. Go down there and talk to them and get the straight scoop...

My father is running one of the under/over units in his motor home. Loves it so much he is seriously considering putting one behind the TH400 in his 65 Pontiac Grand Prix.

Don't know if that helps at all but he SERIOUSLY love the thing!
