Bennett:
I purchased a 3.07 (or 3.08?) Power Lock rear from Barry Schonberger of
Team Tiger Racing, Evansville, IN, ph: (812) 985-9592. He can supply you
with almost any gear ratio in a standard or Power Lock unit, plus he can
tell you about all the pros/cons of each setup and recommend something for
your application.
Give him a call. He's a hell of a nice guy, extremely knowledgeable and a
pleasure to deal with.
