Am noodling something similar and 4.54 or even higher numeric diff ratios for
my 1996 Sub
But with a Gear Venders OD between the tranny and transfer case. Something in
the 0.7 or even 0.5 range
Since they have a gear splitter function, that would provide 8 forward gears. Of
which todays auto tranny's have (close ratio to old guys...that is what it is)
Can get a 1,000 ft/lb 4L80E to marry with the 'built' 7.4L that will go along
with this. Gotta pass SMOG, so buddy who owns a speed shop is noodling
that. Currently says/thinks he can bump it to around 600ft/lbs torque
but passing would be on the hairy edge...
But with that kind of gearing...500 ft/lbs would be fine...just asking
him for more...
Would love to go to 33's or 35's, but don't want to lift my Sub. Maybe a body
lift, but that will take much more noodling. Currently have 32's on 10" wide alloys
On my TV's, drive to torque and on the 2 seater and cars...drive to HP
