Default lower gears for '82

I need help finding a supplier for lower gears in my '82. Have tried to contact Tom but cannot get anyone to answer the phone. I see he has the parts but his pricing is vague.

Don't want to buy an exchange unit, just the parts to change out.

Thanks.

Got what I needed from Randy's ring and pinion.

Got the answer from the Vet Mod forum.

Thanks.

What ratio you gonna go with?

I would think the 3.31 or 3.54 would work well with the 700R4.

I had the 700R coupled w/3.73s in one of my other muscle cars for a while - great combo and still a fine drive on the hiway!! Drove that car on 1,000 mile journeys and very happy with the combo. Great 1st gear launch too.
