Hi all.
New to this site so hope i'm posting in the right place? I have a question i hope someone can help me with.
Its not Mustang related but it is Ford related. I'm mailing from down in Cape Town
South Africa where info is hard to come by locally, so are classic Mustangs unfortunately!!
Ive just completed a build of a 32 Roadster. I have fitted an AOD to a 302. I see this is a
common swop for the older Mustangs. I have a Jag rear end and also 20 inch rears with
295x40x20 's. My problem is the AOD changes up too soon and the car just feels like its
geared all wrong. I have set the pressure to 35psi in neutral and the box is working good. I think my problem is the rear diff ratio, its a 3,07. So my question is.. What would be a good rear end ratio to fit? The car is
used for around town mostly, not too much on the highway. Would enjoy more power off the line but
don't want it to rev its guts out if i do go on the highway. I was thinking of fitting a 3.54 or 3.77 ratio but not
sure if i should even go to a 4,09 with those 20's fitted? Parts down here in SA are crazy expensive so
don't want to get it wrong a second time! So if there's anyone that's done the AOD swop on their Mustang and is also running 20's on the rear any advice on a rear ratio would be much appreciated.
