C-4 gear ratio
 
dose anybody know 2nd gear ratio for a C-4?

It's between 1.4-1.5 not sure of exact number

82 GT 09-15-2002 03:36 PM

The C-4 had two different gear ratios.

They were:

1st 2.46
2nd 1.46
3rd 1.00

or

1st 2.75
2nd 1.57
3rd 1.00

Is there an easy way to identify what ratio is in a trans?

For 82 GT:
I am putting a c4 behind my 351w 87 Lx. Going to use a manual shift reverse pattern body, low gear set, 9 inch convertor. Do you have any hints, suggestions, etc.
Thanks,

Thanks,

First, I need some more info. from you. Is this going to be a street/strip car or strictly drag racing?
If you plan on using it on the street then what gear set are you planning?
Do you have a specific stall speed in mind? Your stall speed also depends on the specs of the cam too...and gear ratio.
Once you know what cam you're going to use and gear ratio then you can plan what stall speed converter is best for your application.

Good question but I'm sorry I don't know the answer to that.

Running a 4:10, street-strip car. Cam is 510 Wolverine. Stall should be at 3000.
Thanks.

Are you asking for advice for the brand of the converter or what?
It seems like you have your parts already.
I'm a little confused what advise you are asking for.:confused:

It sounds like a good set up to me.
