2.47 is the best your gonna get (big T-birds and Lincolns etc.) if you got
the torque to pull that kind a gear. So your gonna have to spend some more
time digging in the bone yard. If 6000 RPM is all you got then a 3.0 gear is
only 166 MPH. If your looking to avoid narrowing the housing look for a 67
to 70 Mustang with a big V-8. All the others had 8"ers. Oh yeah try a
Lincoln Versailles too.

> I have a 1968 Mustang axle that would fit my Studebaker like a glove. It
has 3.0 gears and to the best of my knowledge, it is an 8". Will a 9"
pumpkin swap into that housing? I need to get a little higher in gear
ratio - really need a 2.50 to keep my RPM where I want them at the speed I
want to reach.
