What is the current diff gear ration on the RX?
The Wide Ratio will be fine in most cases. We can make it work. We can not do better --as far as strenght for a 4 speed-- than that Top Loader.

Yeah, and he might be willing to pay a stupid price for it. Though I don't know about the 289 model. It's the 427s that go for big bucks.
According to JOe the ratios are:
Wide ratio: 2.78 1.93 1.36 1 2.78 reverse
See the engine thread. I posted a graph of mph:rpm assuming this gear box, 255/60x15 tires and a 3.73 rear end, which I *think* is what's in there now, but I need to check.
