can i run 4.56 gears in a dana 30 and amc 20
i have a 85 cj7, 1990 ford 302 H.O E.F.I engine, no locker in front, want a detroit in rear, 33"s now eventually no larger than 35"s, won't my rpms be threw the roof at highway speeds?

sorry, t-176, manual, oh and i also have moser 1 piece axles in the amc 20
Yea it'll be up there. Plenty of people run like that. The 5.0 won't care, your fuel may care, but with the highish low in the t176 the 4.56 would be nice offroad.
well if i decide to go with the 4.56 i won't need your gears kopeki but i'll take all the rest expecially the open carrier, will it work with the 4.56 gears.
I ran 4.56's with 33's and still do, I love them lots of power and still reasonable on the highway even at 75 or 80

I didn't like 4.56's in mine with the v8 and 36"s. revs a little too high on the highway.
...
very true. i think 4.56s are a little much for 33-35s. hell i have 35s and 3.50s and everything works great, but my motor is quite a bit more powerful, at least on the low end. what do you have now?Originally Posted by robertf03

the ford 302, 225hp, probobly the same in torque
the reason i specifically ask 4.56 even though i know they may run high is because of this

i think its a good deal if the bid stays low, under 200?
ive got 4.27's and 35's. in 3rd gear (1:1) it runs too high for my liking(~3000rpm). in OD it runs about 2200.
i meant gears. doubt it on the torque... i have 327 ft lbs stock and theres a low end cam in my motor.Originally Posted by 85cj7
