What doesn't Jarrett have for the car?

Sparky has the finished car with Jarrett in it at Indy running 125 mph. He just holding out on us. Lol. Thanks for the help spanky

Well . . . at least we know he's been to Indy!

This is a shot of me following Cooter at a hunnert miles an hour.

I was there with both of you and I did not get to go a hunnert miles per hour......My photo were only taken at about 25 MPH...…..

This was on my coast down lap after the hot lap. Just like yous was. Just going after Spankies ways of thunking.

Here's a picture of the 32 radiator shell.

It's been 10 days since I posted my offer , seems you're not interested. So , I withdraw my offer. Would you be interested in a track nose instead ? I also have a pair of early chevy finned aluminum valve covers. If you want the track nose and/or the finned aluminum valve covers , let me know . Okay ?

I just called him. He said he can't log in for some reason. He's gonna get with Ron and get it fixed. He has a T shell now. Sorry about the delay

I dont exactly know kind of rear end gear ill use. Either a 3.42 or 4.11

 

[T-Test]

Ifin you put a 3.73 fear gear in it, you'll be able to top 200 hunnert MPH with 23 MPG. Don't listen to me for I don't want you hurt or me either cause I can't afford to get hurt anymore as it HURTS.

 

[2old2fast]

Mileage will depend on much more than just final drive ratio ......

I would go with the 3.42, which will be much more 'street-friendly.' In a light weight hot rod, you'll still be able to do burnouts!

That's what's in mine.

Its been a lot of years since I was really interested in this stuff but , its actually easier to do a burnout with a lower(numerical) rear gear than with a higher one , something to do with torque application . You get better traction with slower wheel speed (higher numerical gear ratio) than with a lower . Its pretty easy to blow the tires off a 3.08 gear car ,all things being equal, compared to a 4.56 rear car..

Keeping in mind he's running a little 305 but does have a 700R4, having something in the 3.73 to 4.11 range will make it feel more like a healthy 383 around town, while the OD will give great mpg and low revs while cruising at interstate speeds. Something in the 3.43 range would be a spot on compromise with a 350/400 trans to keep the mpg up and rpm 's down, but since he's got overdrive, why not take advantage of it.

I'd look at a Chevy S10 rear from a later 4WD. Lots of them around at reasonable cost, you could opt for disk or drum, and they had a fairly wide range of gear ratios / positraction available. For a '27, you'll need the extra width of the 4WD version over a regular S10 rear. You'll need about 62" wheel mounting surface to wheel mounting surface.
