Does anyone know where I can find a set of 3.08s for an 8.2 BOP for a 66 GTO. We have 3.55s with a 455 up front and with all that torque we would like to cruise down the highway a little bit better. I have been looking and cannot find anything lower than a 3.55. Any other places would help or am I stuck looking at junkyards?
thanks karl |

This is a real problem. I know of no one who makes anything less than a 3.55 for a 8.2. If got 3.08s and they are a greay gear. I need a posi unit but the only ones Ive found are for 3.31's and up. Aparently if you arent strickly going racing you are out of luck.

I'm about to switch from 2.93 to 3.55's on my 67 389 with an 8.2 If you can wait til after the holidays, I'll make you a good deal on the ring & pinion. Cruises nice on the highway, but I never drive it on the highway, that is why I'm switching. 3.08 is an odd ball gear for Pontiac 8.2s. They jumped mostly from 2.93 right to 3.31 or 3.55s

I believe the only gears numerically lower that will fit you current carrier are 3.36 gears.
Carriers went 2.56-2.78,/ 2.93,3.08 and 3.23 then 3.36,3.55.3.90,4.33. I got this info from the 67 service manual.
