Re: 3.27 Gear without an Overdrive
This A powered hot rod weighs 1700 pounds and pulled 60HP at the rear wheels on a dyno. I tried a 3:27 and found it wanting, even with a '39 transmission and lightened flywheel. I live at 6700' and there are plenty of hills around here. Went back to 3:54 and pleased with the performance. The '29 CCPU in my avatar has a B engine with a CRAGAR head and a T-5 transmission that is the answer from my perspective.
