What is the lowest ratio I can swap into my stock 10 bolt housing? It presently has a 3.23 - 1. I'm about to put a fresh 40 over
455 in. The car has a wide ratio muncie. thanks for any advice. |

In '65, the 3.55 rear end was the standard ratio with the wide ratio transmission (3.23 with a/c). I broke my 3.55 in a race and replaced it with 3.90's. With the wide ratio trans, I would not try to go any lower. My gas miles dropped, but my 1/4 mile times improved by about .20 seconds. I think that is lowest ratio that your rear-end will allow.

You cannot go as low as a 3.90 without using a ring gear spacer. Why not stick with your 3.23 and see how you like it? Unless you want to optimize quarter mile performance, the 455 will like a ratio between 3.23 and 3.73.

I agree with the "Old Man". When Pontiac intro'd the 455 in 70' the gears went to 323 for a 4sp. and 308 w/ac because of all the torque. You might already have the perfect setup.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
