I have a little cash I'm puttin aside for the rainy day. That rainy day being a breakage
89 TTA built to handle a 10 sec pass(see sig) still have the 200 in it with a restalled D5 from Pat's converters. I'm gonna be running the BB 65 with a .63 housing I have as soon as the housing gets swapped out.
My question is, Since I know the tranny isn't long for this world and would need a rebuild and converter anyway. What would be the better option a built 200 with a quality converter running the stock 3.27 gears or a L/U 400 with a 2.77 rear?
Final drive ratios aren't to far off: 2.77 obviously with the 400 and 2.19 for the stock rear and o/d gear of the 200. The car is hardly driven on the street will mostly go to and from track and maybe a cruise or three
Looking at longevity of a 400 v/s loss of a 4th gear. Would the hit on the gear multiplication combined with the extra power needed to turn the 400 make it worth while to keep the 2004r. I don't mind spending a little extra for something that can take any abuse this drivetrain can throw at it......
