Any factory 4.11 8 inch applications

[junkyardjeff]

I have a 8 inch in my 37 Chevy p/u that presently has 3.55 gears,since it has a T-5 I am thinking about going back to 4.11 gears as the 235 ran better with those gears. Anybody know if there is a factory 4.11 gears and what model would most likely have it.

None that i have seen. I bought aftermarket gears years ago when I was using one.

The lowest I know of is a 76 to 78 Pinto sport wagon with a V6. They had a 4 lug 8" with a 3.80 ratio.

The 3.80 gears would work and will have to watch for a wagon.
