Default Re: Dana 60 3.23 gears?

For what it's worth, I have a '60 GMC with a 305V-6 and a DANA 44 rearend; I had the factory 3.92 gears and dropped that down to a 3.23 back in 2012, at the time I had the OEM 4 spd. Hydramatic and no overdrive. The gear change made a WORLD of difference.

Since that swap, the transmission died, and I put in a 700R4 with overdrive. THAT was the ticket, I now turn 80mph at 1800 rpm, the big 305 V-6 LOVES this setup.
