Well,
It is a express 3500 van with 5,500 pounds in weight, not necessarily the same category as a Crovette. However, I am not out to win acceleration contests but get good fuel mileage. Would the tranny suffer from such gearing? I am just trying to find out if the higher gearing to 3.43, such as 3.03, would be doable with a compromise in acceleration of it is just not practicable. Was wondering to mayby do 3.43 and experiment around with larger diameter tires...
