hello all. well to introduce myself im jake in san diego and im 26. im in the navy and so far im on my 2nd duster. first one was a 73 with a 318 and 4 spd. the new girl is a 74 with a built 340 and a 727 set up.


ill start off by askin a question. i have the 8 3/4 suregrip with 3.55 gears. i would like to lower my cruising rpms with out losing to much of the get up and go ...... my old one had same rear with 3.23 .... it was a good cruiser but also had the 4spd. would i be ok goin with a 3.23 or can i go lower. the engine in this car has gobs of power to move it so im confident a lower gear wouldnt bog her down to much..... your thaughts are appreciated.....

 

The 3.23 will work fine with that drivetrain, your cruising rpm will be about 3k@ 60mph. My 340 Demon had that setup in it from the factory and i never had any problem making it move when it needed it.

 

awsome ..... yeah i was thinkin that too actually.... thanx and what part of jersey you from? i grew up there in wiliamstown..... right next door to camden.
