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?

Great idea
Quote:
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.

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

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.

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