The diff is out of Chrysler Centurer (borg warner) ratio is 3.23 that will have to do until I come up with more cash. Ideally with the stock engine I would need a 3.55. If I used a 4.11 it would run out of revs before finish line. Plus to run 4.11 I would have to replace diff for a nine inch. Remember this is old technology, peak power is at @3800rpm I will be shifting at @ 4500rpm anymore than that and you actually go slower and risk pulling the pin on a GRENADE!. Will need better pistons and rods etc to rev her more. This car is really light as it has no interior (except for the essentials). I have also pulled out the old fuel tank and replaced it with a aluminium 1 1/2 gallon one to save weight.
