Re: V8 Crossfire Conversion Diary
well, I had a 3.73 in my Z 28, it was a grt gear...but we are turning 6200, my Z was turning 9000....still something in that area of 3.55-3.73....would be a grt gear for these cars...5 speed auto vs 4 speed standard in the old days...so where can we get a gear for our cars, and who can reprogram it? I have been asking everyone this question for sometime, including our friends in Germany...

Just checked and 230's seem to use the 3.27 but C240's use 3.46 !!
Hear is on on Ebay. Ignore the picture as it is just a file photo and not of the actual diff.

yes, that is the REAL discussion...man, what rear end were you thinkin? yes, mike, that has been the problem all along...I wanted to change rear end gears, Lantana may have the answer to not only the programming, but another rear end from an MB that has an even higher ratio than what I have been looking at...so, while waiting for the V-8 to get up and running, we have been discussing our rear ends...

So, if you change your 'rear end' ratio, wont you have to reprogram the car to set up everything properly?

Rest assured I am not going to butt in.
