72 k10 gearing help

What gear are you guys running with 35in tires.I have a 350 turbo trans and I have a 3:73 gear now. Motor is a 383 stroker. No off-road driving just a pavement pounder .

Re: 72 k10 gearing help

My 72 K20 is stock with 4:10's I have a mild build on my 350 and run 33" tires, fairly happy with it, i would think the 383 and 35's would offset each other and you would have about the same results.

Re: 72 k10 gearing help

Thanks for the reply swamp rat. I tried 4:46 it was great around town but at 65mpg tach about 3000rpm. Don't know if I like 3:73 little sluggish on take off might just go with 4:10
