rear gears n tire match
What is the formula for gear n tire combo's. Runnin a 64chevelle SS, totally lightened with a 350/400crank, flat tops, roller-roller, and my rear tires are 33x18x15. Want to run hard n lift with sliks, just playin, not into points. I know there is a formula for gear and tire size, where is it or what is it? Runnin a ford 9" with 3.25 gear now, think I need like a 4.60 not sure how it goes. <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

The formula that I use is from RICHMOND {FORMULA FOR SELECTING GEAR RATIO}
RPM X TIRE DIAMETER ____________________ = RATIO MPH X 336 EXAMPLE- If you want to drive at 60 MPH at 2000 RPM and tire diameter is 30" the ratio would be 3.0. 2000 X 30" ____________ = 3.0 60 X 336 Hope this formula may help you in your gear selecton. NONA JEFF

What if your car is going to have an overdrive like my 57 with 700r4?

All the info put out is one to one so leave it in third gear to get your settings. ROY

Is this your e-mail address? mailto:tm53chev@yahoo.com
I just got a not deliverable for it. I can send you or post a "driveline calculator" which will allow you to substiture various wheel diameters and ring and pinion ratios. This will tell you what rpm's you would pull at various, speeds, ratios and wheel sizes. Maybe our moderator can tell us how to post an excel file. However, this won't tell you how the car will run because if you don't have the torque to lift the wheels off the ground it is gonna stay on the ground.
