For the 6 I would suggest you leave it alone. Several years ago before I made my car a V8 I put the new rear end in first. Factory 3.50 gears. That little six doesn't turn many rpm's. At 60mph it was close to tapped out. Within 4 months I threw a rod completely out the side. The motor was only 1 yr old when it blew.

My six had a 2.79 8". You could go 3.00 or 3.25 with no problem & get a little more low-end.

I bought a 66 6 cyl cv sometime back, and it had a 3 spd. Changed it over to auto. The orig gear in back was a 3:20, I believe. It turned out to be a peppy car.

Didn't most of the I6's come with 3.20 open?I know all the 68's we have had with I6's had the 320 in the rear. We have most of the parts to build nice I6. Machined Block,crank & rods,Head (2),headers,Clifford Cam (#93-2061), small 4bbl carb & adapter ect..the only thing missing is the pistons. one of these days
