[Tigers] transmissions

[Steve Laifman]

Russ,

I agree with John Logan.  I have the "wide" (not) ratio transmission and 
the original 2.88 rear end. Very satisfying on street or highway, and 
the Salisbury version of the LAT-34 Dana.  Salisbury is owned by Dana, 
and the Jaguar LSD mounts the original 2.88 ring gears.

Use the free Excel Transmission Calculator written by Bob Hokanson,

Recommeded for anybody thinking of mucking around with transmission, rear end, or tire sizes.

Steve

> I am going to run a ford motor sport 345 horse in my 65........would I still be happy with the close ratio transmission or should I change it to wide ratio?  Street use only.  Anybody have thoughts?  Thanks, Russ
