I have a 1937 Dodge Business Coupe that has an updated suspension. I believe the rear end is a Dodge 8.75", with the cover bolts toward the driveshaft and a smooth rear pumpkin. It has a Chevy 350ci engine and I believe it to be a TH350 trans. The whole setup does about 65 on the freeway, but the engine is screaming at that point. I'd like it to rpm a lot lower on the freeway and I really don't care about the holeshot, as I just like to cruise it, so I'm guessing it has a low 4's gear ratio in the rear? I was planning on swapping the rear out in the distant future with a larger, narrowed one, but for the time being, am I right on the rear ratio without removing the yoke and cover? Would lowering the ratio to the high 2's or low 3's be an easy adjustment for now?
Thanks
