I'm not sure the ring pinion would fit in our case I'm sure it would have to be a whole new somewhat larger rear end but at least you could make it stronger, first gear would be non-existent you would almost be at top end in the 1/4 though :lol:

Wish they did. 4.10 is a great streey gear but for a high revver like yours, more gear is needed.

I've had them for a couple of years and can't remember who they ordered them from for me, If I were to get them now I would get hold of Rodney (crashed94) he built my tranny and builds the best rear ends and even makes a hardened short shaft as well which I havn't heard of anyone else doing--

I doubt they can make a 9 tooth pinion in our housing for 4.56, but they could probably make a 43 tooth ring for 4.30
