In an earlier thread I asked if the police head would be enough to propell the 3:27 R&P in a light weight pickup truck. The concenses seemed to be yes.
As you know a Tudor is a heavier body. Would it be better to use a 3:54 in the Tudor or would the police head be enough to propell the 3:27?
Also, most parts houses sell a speedometer gear for the 3:54. No one seems to have the correct speedometer gear for the 3:27. As a default, some recommend the same speedometer gear as for the 3:54, which probably means that the speedometer would be off a little. Can anyone comfirm this?
Thank you,
Neil

Neil, I have 31 tudor and have been running 3:27 gear since 2001. This was when my car had orig head and only modification was electronic ign. and alternator. I was running this gear when everyone was saying it was to high of a gear. I was still able to pull off from a stop sign in 2 nd gear. This was the first major change I did and I'm glad I did. check on my avatar and see the other changes I made. You will only get 7 mph more speed and not the 10 mph they all advertise. The new speedometer gear you will need is the 17 tooth gear. Have fun modelAtony tony white Lafayette, LA
