I'd have trouble bringing myself to grind through the Imron and the rear end
brace I so lovingly skip welded over the course of 2 days as to not distort
the housing after Moser sent it to me. I'm beginning to get the impression
that a quick change is the way to fly, I just need to find one that will
handle the power.

                        I understand that 2.27s  were made for the Ford 93/8
rear end used in some!!! 66 to 7l Lincoln's  and  T-Birds. Call  Moser and
let us know what you find out. The 9 3/8  inch gears will fit a 9 " housing
with a little bit of grinding. See Oct. issue of HRM.  Kvach in North Idaho
I need a set to with my 6500 rpm  motor.  ----------

        We are currently running 2.41's for Bonneville, and a bulletproof
set of
        2.90's for Maxton and El Mirage, but would like to find a lower set
than the
        2.41's for Bonneville since we can't rev the motor on Nitro like we
can on
        Alky.

                Doug; 2.47 is the lowest number I was able to buy in '83.
Don't know
        now. Rich
