[Chevelle-list] rear gears

2003-12-29 Thread Bill Bradley



hi gang
I've got a question or two regarding the gearing of 
my differential.I've got a 67 Malibu that had a 283 and a powerglide, I've 
pulled them and installed a 305 and a TH350. My question is this "what would you 
recommend for the gears in my rear end"? I'm looking to decrease my rpms on the 
long haul and increase my mileage.to the best of my knowledge my gears are 
stock.
any help would be greatly appreciated
it looks like the casting on the rear end is 
"3894938N" ? its a non posi 10 bolt
stamped on the tube it looks like "CR1109B" or 
could be "cr11098" ?
hope this helps

yes, disconnect the hot cable from the battery, torque the bolts, dont over
torque, and you may need a heat shield depending on your exhaust

RE: [Chevelle-list] rear gears

2003-12-29 Thread Dale McIntosh
Title: Message



Bill,

The 
"CR" code is for a 3.70 posi, 1109 is Nov 9, and B is Buffalo assembly. 
I'd suggest you look at http://www.chevellestuff.com/generic/rpm_calculator.htmand 
play with gear ratios to find what'll work in your highway speed ranges. 
If you know your tire size, you can play with ratios available and see what 
RPM's you'd be running at a given speed. Transmission type selection is 
moot since you're looking at a 1-to-1 ratio in high gear unless you want to toss 
in the variable of an O/D transmission. Being an automatic, you might want 
to allow 200-300 RPM for converter slippage as well.

For 
example withall things being equal (assuming a regular 205x70x14 tire), 
3.70's at 75 give you about 3700 RPMs while a 3.31 drops that to 3300. 
Swapping to an O/D (such as a 700-R4) and keeping your 3.70s drops your RPMs to 
2600 in O/D at 75. I used this page quite a bit when I was deciding what 
rear tire sizes would work for me.

Re: [Chevelle-list] rear gears

2003-12-29 Thread Mike Holleman



Bill, I may not be much help but here is what I see. Highway 
performance between the 283/PG and 305/350 would be basically the same. Both are 
1 to 1 in high gear. The code that counts is the one stamped on the axle tube. 
In 67 the CR is supposed to be 3.70 posi. That would be highly unlikely in a 
283/PG car. Go back and look again real close. The first letter is gonna be a C, 
the second is critical in determining what you have. As far as a recommendation 
for a good highway gear, go 3.08. My 65 283/PG has that combo and does well at 
highway speeds. I'm taching around 2600 at 60 MPH. Keep in mind the the diff. 
may be setup different than it came from the factory, so the codes could be 
wrong.
Good luck.

RE: [Chevelle-list] My combo on desktop dyno.

2003-12-29 Thread Tigergutt
Brad.

Just came home from the Christmas holidays so I'm here enjoying reading
the list.

Thanks a lot for all the info, the engine is not yet started and was
just supposed to be a cheap one, that is arp studs, forged rods a
milodon pan scrapers etc etc etc. I think I could get it a roller cam
and keep the heads call it quit and start a new project or maybe the cam
and some heads :) 
After that I'll start a new life with a new and bigger engine, maybe
with two turbos.

I already have a 10,7 compression all forged 355 with a solid roller (no
specs on the cam :-( ), roller rockers, arp studs, performer rpm heads,
intake and a holley 650 double pumper in my van (as for now to no use, I
could easily explain that with just one picture haahah) so I wouldn’t
mind using a solid roller on the street... and then it looks just so
manly to adjust valves haha :o)

Well Brad, just wanted to thank you for all the info :)

Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] My combo on desktop dyno.

Andre,

Nothing wakes up a motor like a roller cam, except maybe a solid lifter
cam.  If you don't plan to drive all that much, you can get away with a
solid lifter cam and annual (or longer) valve adjustments.  If you want
the drivability and not have to worry about adjusting valves every so
often, you could go for a roller.  Roller cams are a lot more expensive
when you add in the retrofit lifters.

Even a conservative roller cam like the XR264HR bumps up the torque.
Want 450 lb-ft from 2000 to 4000 RPM?  Plus you get another 20 HP.  Want
to get more aggressive?  The XR288HR drops a bunch of torque (but still
over 400 from 3000 to 5000 RPM), but knocks HP up to 417 @ 5,500 RPM.
All of this with the same heads you have.  

Upgrade to a more modern head like the World S/R Torquer and you can buy
more performance.  The head manufacturers can recommend cams to match,
and the cam manufacturers can recommends cams for various heads and your
setup and needs.

For a great street setup, your intake is just fine.  At some point you
might need some more carburetor, but you could still use the 600 up to
maybe 450 HP, maybe before.  If you stay in the lower RPM band, then you
don't need the bigger carburetor.  But heads and cam can really make a
difference.  I'm looking for my roller cam, all forged small block to be
over 450 HP and 475 TQ.  This is with upgraded everything.  My real goal
is more than 350 HP at the rear wheels.

If you want a goal for next year, research the heads out there and
decide on one, then choose the right cam for (your wallet) the head,
your car, and your style of driving and do that swap next.  Buy new head
bolts of you do this.  It should only take you a weekend.

 I had to make a few tweaks, but yes I think you will be right 
 at 350 HP
 and 400 lb-ft torque.  I used Dyno2000 and was able to set 
 the engine to
 355, 10.5:1, Summit-1104 cam, increased lift to 0.496, 
 selected a dual
 plane manifold, 600CFM carburetor, small tube headers with 
 mufflers, and
 I had to sub in the GM 462 head because I don't have a 292 in my
 dataset.  I would assume that they are close, but I don't know.  The
 1.6:1 rockers will also change other cam specs a bit, but I did not
 modify duration and overlap by the few degrees you should get.

OK, here's your 
results. The biggest variable here is that I used a stock 441 casting flow 
file as I have no idea how different your flow is with the port and polish 
job. This could be a big difference, but you can look at this as a 
baseline, where your numbers should be better. Since you have the 1.6 
rockers, I added the extra lift (0.501) and a two degrees more duration to 
guesstimate the effects of the rocker arms.

The torque curve 
is flat as a table, which means this should be great on the street. You 
have basically 430 lb-ft of torque across the entire street driving 
band.

HP: 366 @ 5000 
RPM
TQ: 437 @ 2500 
RPM

Graph: http://ep.com/brad/ForumPix/LenGraph.gif
Table: http://ep.com/brad/ForumPix/LenTable.gif

Your engine is not 
too far from a sim I did a while back for my Chevelle as a possible replacement 
if I ever need one. I ran a 400 block, and the biggest difference was I 
used the AFR190 head and a slightly more aggressive cam. My peak torque 
was the same, but it peaked at 4000 RPM, which gave me a higher HP peak (389 HP) 
at the expense of less bottom end torque (25 lb-ft less at 2000 
RPM).

I've also done 
some more wild combos with the 400 block, but they use roller cams and rev 
higher, meaning more expensive parts. But if you want 500HP/500TQ, you 
could do it with a single plane manifold, better heads, and a radical roller 
cam.

RE: [Chevelle-list] rear gears

2003-12-29 Thread Dale McIntosh
Title: Message



Granted that it's an odd choice of a 3.70 gear with a 283/glide 
combination and why someone would order it is decidedly different, both 3.55 and 
3.70 are listed as optional 'Special' performance gears for everything from the 
140hp L6 up to and including the L30 327/275 - see http://www.team67.com/67velle/power_teams.htm. 
But seeing that 3.70 was the lowest 10-bolt ratio offerered in '67, who knows 
what might have been going through the buyers mind when selecting options? 
Probably not too many of them ordered, that's for sure.

  gears
  Bill, I may not be much help but here is what I see. Highway 
  performance between the 283/PG and 305/350 would be basically the same. Both 
  are 1 to 1 in high gear. The code that counts is the one stamped on the axle 
  tube. In 67 the CR is supposed to be 3.70 posi. That would be highly unlikely 
  in a 283/PG car. Go back and look again real close. The first letter is gonna 
  be a C, the second is critical in determining what you have. As far as a 
  recommendation for a good highway gear, go 3.08. My 65 283/PG has that combo 
  and does well at highway speeds. I'm taching around 2600 at 60 MPH. Keep in 
  mind the the diff. may be setup different than it came from the factory, so 
  the codes could be wrong.
  Good luck.

Subject: [Chevelle-list] rear 
gears

hi gang
I've got a question or two regarding the 
gearing of my differential.I've got a 67 Malibu that had a 283 and a 
powerglide, I've pulled them and installed a 305 and a TH350. My question is 
this "what would you recommend for the gears in my rear end"? I'm looking to 
decrease my rpms on the long haul and increase my mileage.to the best of my 
knowledge my gears are stock.
any help would be greatly 
appreciated
it looks like the casting on the rear end is 
"3894938N" ? its a non posi 10 bolt
stamped on the tube it looks like "CR1109B" or 
could be "cr11098" ?
hope this helps
