Best irs gearing in a split bus with a suby motor

Post by AllenH »

Now that I have the cooling system functioning well Im planning to swap in the ej 22 turbo into my split bus. Right now I have a ssp 3.88 in it and would like to lower the rpm a bit as i want to be able to cruise at lower rpm . My torque app says 60 mph at 3100 rpm Im running 195/60/15 tires . I may put some 205/75/15 tires on before i Have a transmission built. thx for your advice Al

I have a 63 singlecab with an ej22. My tranny is a 3.88 with a .82 4th. Tires are 165's. At 75 im turning 3200rpm. The motor doesnt seem to mind.
