i have a 65 fastback that is hobbling on a peg leg and i would like to give it a prosthetic for cheap. it has 2.80 gears. what can i do to get like a 3.73 ratio and posi? can i just switch the pumpkin? oh, it has a mild 289 that will be driven on weekends, car shows, cruises and such. if i only need the center section, does anyone have one for sale near ky? by the way, this site is awesome. so much useful information. i should have pics of the car soon. thanks.

yes, just switch the pumpkin. just look down the page for more info. this topic was recently posted by myself and there is a complete howto on how to do it. i went with a 3.55 which is more than enough with a c4 tranny
