Heyguys it been a while. I have 54 3100 I am want to change rear end and tranny. I have rear end out of 69 camaro with 2:73 gears, what tranny would work best with this set up. I was told this rear end was perfect for this. I also want to change front hubs to 5 lug and I was told hubs from 52-55 chevy car would fit right on my spindles, is this true. I will post some pic of my truck as soon as I figure out how.
Hi 1Bad I have a 700r4 that I am not going to use. What are you doing for a motor? If you are going SBC this would be a good match and automatic.
The 700 R4 would be my choice as well, but I'm using a TH350 in the Rose with similar (2.75) rear ratio, and it's 3 gears are pretty well matched for that. The 700 will give you a bit higher high end and lower low end with the extra gear, which can be nice. If you want, PM me and I'll send you an excel spreadsheet I worked up that allows you to calculate the ground speed at any rpm with these two transmissions, based on your tire diameter and rear end ratio...
