There are different ratios & they are all overdrive 5th gear.

What rear end ratio do you have 4.11?

Well I really want to use either a saginaw or muncie tbh. I also DEFINITELY want to keep it a manual. I locked up 1 tire and turned the other and the drive shaft turned just over 2 times so it is geared INCREDIBLY low. I'm confused, is OD an installable gear or is it an extra gear in the way it is built or what? Why isn't it just called a 5 speed? I've found a working saginaw 4 speed and a working muncie 4 speed w/ hurst shifters for about $250 (each). Could I use the same bellhousing for all these trannys? And just a general question about I-6s... would they be in any way comparable to a v-8. Like I said earlier in this thread, I want to give my dad a run for his money with his suped up V-8 so I just was wondering what I was expecting to get out of all of these upgrades. Thanks
