[QUOTE=Darryl Dayton (63266);849426]From the factory in 1965 with SHP engines the standard rear end ratio was a 3.70 and it came with a CR trans. Cars with a 300 h.p. came with a WR trans which has a lower first gear for better take off. If your car still has the CR trans I would think it would be sluggish on take off. The SHP engines really LIKE the 3.70 or 4.11 gears and really WAKE UP those engines.[/QUOTE
I changed it a few years after I bought the car. It sure isn't the fastest off the line, but I like being able to head out onto the highway and drive it at a good clip. 75mph is 3500rpm, and 90mph is about 4000rpm.
