Don't know the answer to your question but welcome aboard. Sounds like you have a very nice setup there.

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.

Hello and welcome.
Here is a website with some information on rear end gear ratios and may help determine what ratio you have.

Default welcome aboard

I'm more or less a newbie myself. Thank you for your service to our country. Love the color of your vette, looks an awful lot like one I know.

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