don't put a 4:10 in the eta. I think the perfect ration for the eta is a 3:25. good luck with the project.

maybe its not a daily?

[FLUTE007]

its a dd but i dont do over 75 ever, i want to go up hills so i think it will be perfect with a four ten

my bad. with a 4:10 it would kill your gas mileage if you were doing a lot of highway miles. I am pretty sure the eta came with a 2.93 and in some of the earlier models a 2.79. I swapped in a 3.25LSD when i had my eta and that was perfect. It gave me the added acceleration while giving me good gas mileage. good luck.

i now have the 2:93 , not too worried bout the gas , i just need tons of low power for going up the mountain hills. thanks for the heads up , if i wanted the mpgs i would def. keep it in, ill keep in the cornner for the future when gas is 7 bucks a gallon.

want might to just do the 3.73, should be cheaper a bit too. having driven the 3.73 in my eta, it was really buzz bomby.

[FLUTE007]

im not sure what buzz bomby is but ive got my parts already, seats, rearend, suspension, and all that good stuff, but thanks for the advice, oh and what does buzz bomby mean....

[FLUTE007]

so i swapped in my new suspension and rearend and drove it home to give you guys an update it handles sweet and goes like a bat out of hell, wish the roads were clean so i could open it up, oh well maybe soon, im gona throw in the seats and gut it tonight also have a steering wheel to put in, ill keep you guys updated.....

Isn't your top speed only going to be 80-something, and bouncing off the limiter? Hope you don' drive much on the highway.
