V8 Quick Change

[32hotrod]

Had a great first time event not to improve the car.
Anyone have any experience running a Winters V8 quick change, The champ version does not have the right geat combo and the ultraliner is beyond our budget.
With 1 to 1 in hi gear we need 2:20 or so to keep the BB Ford under 6500

Thanks to all for your comments

What final drive ratio are you trying to get?

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Once you get it -- don't do what Rick Yacoucci did, or maybe do do what he did.  He installed the gears upside down, giving him a much taller ratio than he planned.  The car ran 280 or so.  In impound he discovered his mistake and swapped the gears -- and his backup run was a 250-something.

Makes you wonder, hey?

Hi  we ran this year a 2:73 gear the C-6 and need to get into the 2:20 range but with the 8.8 rear that's not possible.
Options we see are
5 speed but that's a bit of a budget crunch
GearVendors OD but the final drive ratio is off as the ring and pinion go from 2:73 to 3.08 nothing in between that I have found

   If you get the Winters with 3:78 ring and pinion you can get down to 1.80 .

I use a winters QC in my car and have found a great selection of gears on ebay for about 25 bucks a set.  Get a chart from winters or stock car products to figure out what set number you need.  BTW, I really like the ease of the quickie but the rear end noise is more than I expected.

GM 7.5 has a 2.28 and a 2.14  GM 10/12 8 7/8 has a 2.28

Not sure on the Winters but a Halibrand V8 QC can be fitted with a 3.25 ring and pinion and you can get under 2.00 with it. A lot of cars with over 800 HP run them...............Good Luck
