FYI
The Tiger was either close or wide ratio with a Dana 44 2.88 ratio. Not the
greatest combo.
My Tiger had a 302/5 speed w. 3.54 - much more fun and still could cruise
with ease.
Overbuilt? maybe. I know I tried a drag race start once w/ very sticky
tires - the car just shot forward and gave me whiplash. Ahhh, those were
the days!
