51 226/6cyl Rear End Gear Ratio
Hi All,
Would anyone know the rear end gear ratio of a 1951 Ford H226, 6 cyl in a Business Coupe. Considering an overdrive for highway driving. Thanks, Steve |

Steve,
The standard rear ratio in a '51 was 3.73 to 1. Overdrive was 4.10 to 1. Fordomatic was 3.31 to 1. An overdrive with a 3.73 to 1 standard rear is a great combination. Ken

My sedan is actually a 50 but I purchased a low mileage 51-226 engine and complete drive train including rear end. Runs great but thinking an overdrive would make it a better car on the highway. Thanks, Steve |
