    Rockwell axle ratios

    Exactly my point.Cars don't have the gear ratio needed to pull the weight or tire size that the deuce does with 140 hp. You are proposing getting rid of the gear ratio it takes just to get things moving with 14000lbs 41 inch tall tires and 140hp

There are several ways to get the same ratio. but it...

    Rockwell axle ratios
