- Since 1955 1st series was the first open driveline, I am hoping they also increased the gear ratio. Can anyone tell me what a 55 1st 3100's gear ratio is in the rear end? Also, what would you suggest

- The '55 1st series rear end had a 3.90 ratio, with 4.11 as an option. It's easy to check - just pull the cover, count the teeth on the ring gear, and divide by the number of teeth on the pinion gear.

- In the low altitude flat land of Kansas, I would think a 3.42:1's should be a good choice. I plan on using my stock gearing of 4:11 in my 50 with a 261 and OD, only because I live in a high altitude
