My current 7.5" has 2.79:1! I do plan on swapping in 3.50:1 as soon as I can afford them.Realmongo said:Fritz-Before you install that 8 inch, you might do well to find an 8 inch carrier from a Pinto or something that has some lower rear end gears. That 2.80:1 is steep for a six banger and something like a 3.50:1 would be much more enjoyable to drive.

Are you sure about that? Everything I've seen on the I6's indicates that its a 7.5" integral rear carrier type.....Realmongo said:You wish it had a 7-1/2"! Those old 6 banger rears were 7-1/4"! I actually blew the spiders gears up on one of those in a 1970 Maverick with a 170 6 cylinder 3 speed!!!

Now, now, now.......look on the bright side! You've got yourself a good boat anchor!65ShelbyClone said:I didnt do anything real exciting, just opened up the 289 that came(separately) with my '68. I found out its .060 over, rusted bores, oil pan full of water, bent pump shaft, clogged pickup, uselessly corroded timing cover, ground-down rod cap pads, and a C9 block......its actually a 302. Almost the entire thing so far is garbage. One thing that did come out well was my repainting of the ash tray door with satin black laquer and stripping/painting the engine pullies gloss black.
