That is an unusaul engine tranny combo, sounds like some fun.

Can't answer your question re the rear-end sorry.

Generally, autos came with a 3.08 rear and manuals with a 3.36. That was the standard but there were options of course.

BTW: Nice color.

You can always spin your wheel and count the driveshaft revolutions to tell ratio. If you need more IM me. Jon
