Thanks for the reply Dennis; yea the 3.23 rear end gears are a little high. But I only paid $75.00 for that rear end and thought I would give it a try before changing the ratio. That S-10 trans has a lower 1st gear 3.78 than other T-5s do and I'm afraid if I went with a 3.73 or lower ratio I would be starting off in second. I don't want another granny gear, and besides it seems to be ok at freeway speed with the 3.23 ratio. I would like to do a valve job on the 6 eventually, it sat for 15 years prior to my purchase. The only things I have done to the engine are rebuild the carb and replace the distributor. Once I know the engine is producing 100% then see if I feel the need for a lower ratio.
