    I need some info about what ratio's I should be using in my Lenco 3 spd and rear end. I searched the entire site but there are not any threads that deal with my specific combo.
    I'm starting with a fresh engine combo so I want to get the gears matched if possible.

    Engine should produce about 1800hp, I use a 2 disc 10" clutch, lenco 3 spd, Ford diff. Car weighs about 2900 lbs. I can only fit a 32" tall tire in this car because of the body style. Top Sportman deal. I hope thats enough info to get started.

    Not looking for anybody's secret combo, just would like some opinions to attempt to get on the right track. I have a few gears sets to work with, but I can get different ones if I need to. I'm not one to "make do".

    Thanks for any info

    Gear Ratios

    I'm thinking off starting with a 2.04 first and a 1.44 second with a 4.30 rear gear.
    Am I at least close with this combo or way off?

    Thanks

    That is a close as you can get with that size tire to be the same as a 34" tire with a 4.56.
