if this works out , Rudy and I are looking at a 373 or 391 .. but now doing the ford 9"

now to explain that :
Test 3 was with 327 gears and street tires, great results . see above
Test 4 will be with 185 crank pulley/327 gears.,, install 185 today,,,,,,,,, track tomorrow
Test 5 will be when i get back from road trip,,
now the big news ,,
we are building a Ford 9" that will fit any crossfire.
to start with we will have 3.40 gears, new drive shaft,,new axles,,and Ford diff.

 

Sounds expensive.... but will be the answer to all the pinion failures with the stock style units.

 

If and when I break mine ...... (don't want) Thanks for doing this and taking notes of the results Jim.

Les

 

not as much as you would think.,, I have broken 4 diffs. and one axle. their cost with labor to change everything everytime , is about equal , with the v8 only I have have only one diff and one axle that i have failed.

to do the ford 9" of course the first one cost the most, I tested the 327 set up, and now a few people have it ,, I tested the 346 and it worked some may want just that. And now it is time for a ford 9" , thanks Les ,someone has to do it. the 346 at this time is a open rear ,we have not found a posi for it. that is why i want to go with ford 9"

updated test on post #2 jim

 

This is the post I have been waiting on since you first started the trial and error process. Definitely can't wait to hear when you figure everything out and what the cost will be. Very interested and appreciate you being the test dummy for everyone.

 

revised 6-19-15 ------------------on my way to the track now

will post results later tonight update on post #2

 

just curiosity...are the rear gears the same for the stick vs. auto?

 

yes the limited gets 327 and the SRT get 307.. I have not heard of it differently jim

 

Jim, I am in the need of either an srt6 rear end or at least the 3.07 ring and pinion. Have anything lying around?

 

yes ,I do have a 307,, do you need a tcu, i may be able to get one , as i don't have one right now.

 

sounds like you are going to install the wavetrak!!!
