Market for new 8.2 ring/pinion?
 
I'm working on a source to provide brand new BOP 8.2 gear sets (ring and pinion). I suppose the first ratios to start with would be 3:23 and 3:08 (3:55 is available today from traditional sources). These would be pontiac sets, no need to change your pinion yoke, ujoints, etc to use Chevy parts.

Do you think there is a market for this?

3.36 Is the biggest missing ratio in todays availability

I think a small selection of high 3-series ratios for street performance and highway use would sell pretty well.

The 3.08, 3.23 and 3.36 ratios would all be good sellers, especially the 3.36. Maybe even offer 3.73, 3.90 and 4.11 gears for the more performance-minded individuals, but I doubt they'd do as well as the high 3-series gears. Forget about any 2-series ratios, nobody really wants them.

I agree with the above posts. I would definitely be interested in a BOP specific 8.2 3.23 or 3.26 gear ratios. I think enough Pontiacs are still out there needing/wanting these ratios to warrant reproducing them.

I would love to get my hands on a set of 3.36

440GP69 03-03-2008 08:59 PM

definately i'd buy a set of 3.23 and 3.36 if i could find em! our engines make huge torque and not all of us are running engines that need 3.55-4.10 to haul a**

KEN CROCIE 03-05-2008 10:58 PM

Remember-the 3.36 takes a different posi(3.36 and up) than the 3.23 (2.92-3.23 posi)

440GP69 03-06-2008 12:26 AM

good point ken thanks

3:08
 
I would buy a 3:08 in a heart beat. I am so frustrated I am thinking of getting rid of my goat. I have a 3:55 which is usless for where I live and the type of driving I do (highway). I just posted a thread trying to find out a sollution.

RR67GTO 05-26-2009 07:20 AM

Just get anything in the 3s other then the 3.55:1.

Hudc 05-26-2009 02:05 PM

I would def buy a 3:08 or 3:23 if available.

Bob Moore 05-29-2009 04:07 AM

Would buy 3.23

ron cozzo 05-31-2009 09:59 AM

3.36 is available from Yukon. Do the 3.08, not enough difference between 3.36 and 3.23.

66GTO Jim 06-03-2009 11:44 AM

Ditto on the 3.23 Jim
