I'm planning some rear end work on my '66 once the '93s tranny swap is done and it becomes the daily driver. I was wondering what gears are most popular for the first gen stangs/c-4 cars. The car is quick off the line (can chirp second when in tune), but gets wound out too fast. I currently have 3.25's and would like to go higher, but I know with this tranny , she'll be at like 3k @45mph. How do you guys deal with it? build the motor for more power and then go for lower gears?
Eventually I want to swap in a 5 speed, then its 3.73 city, but is there anything I can do now as a stopgap?
