Default 'Short Gears'

My '68 Chevelle had the 325hp 350 engine, close ratio 4-speed, and a 4.56 gear with factory air shocks. First and second gear were very, very brief.
Incredible fun car......the gear made all the difference.

Wish I still had that car, along with my silver '70, two 'C-3 Vettes, and a couple of others. Bet no one on this board ever had that thought.

Have a 73 convertible with a blueprinted 350 .40 over under the hood with 3:70! Gears.......Had the stock 3:36 for 14 years until they went six months ago....

Found a Complete 3:70 unit for a great price so I had them installed.......Right lane on the highway for majority of the time.....Fun on the street.....Tough on the highway......Could not imagine a 4:56 ratio......
