IF YOU GO WITH 46-48 CHEVY REAREND HOUSING YOU CAN CHANGE THE CENTER CHUNK (TORGUE TUBE AND ALL) TO THE EARLY 50'S AUTOMATIC OR POWERGLIDE 3:55 RATIO THIS ACCORDING TO CHEVY TALK FORUMS
YOUR REAR AXLE SHOULD HAVE 4.56 TO 1 GEARS ACCORDING TO HOLLANDER INTERCHANGE MANUAL.THE 36 GEARS AND REAR END ARE DIFFERENT THAN 37 AND NEWER. A POSSIBILTY WOULD BE TO USE A 41-48 CHEVY CAR REAR AXLE MIGHT NEED MODIFICATIONS TO DRIVESHAFT AND SPRING MOUNTS.THIESE HAD A 4.10 AND 370 RATIO AVAILABLE .IF INTRESTED HAVE A REAREND THAT CAN GIVE YOU MEASUREMENTS FROM. *** PS 370 WAS STANDARD RATIO IN 55 CHEVY 6 STICK.
