What's the best rearend (Diff) for M60 swap?

[MonkeyMadness]

An M60 auto swap? into an E30? why?

Cause that's what my son wants... is this an issue?

Also, you spelled "tension" wrong in your sig.

Fixed..

Some people like autoboxes, some like manual boxes :)


Just completed one E30 V8 auto - swap. It's very nose-heavy, but if you like autobox - then why not?

That one has 2.93 diff (same as originally in E32 / E34), keeps the revs nice and low but if you would want to have a touch more acceleration I'd go for 3.15 or similar. It's five-speeder anyways, so I wouldn't go too much higher.

In my 6-speed manual I've 3.4 diff with 245/35-17 tires and the revs are a tad on the high side when on highway..

Good to know thank you very much.
