With an OD you will want at least a 3.21 or the OD will be relatively useless unless you drive 100 a lot.

I've got a pair of 8 1/4s , one is out of a Duster, and the other is from a deputized Diplomat. I was thinking of mix'n'matching the two for application in my Scamp. The plan is to use the Duster housing, and swap the gi-normous breaks from the Diplomat to it. Also the pinion snubber ('cuz it's a little taller) and potentially the gear set. The Duster's gears are 3.21 The Diplomats gears are 2.9 (really? there is a second tag that reads 0558) With an O/D A-833, which would be preferable? Anybody see any potential problems with this plan? IE - the fact that the rear breaks will be MUCH larger than the front(still drums)? |
