If I wanted to lower my rpm on the freeway, and was going to swap the rear end to achieve this, what ratio would I want and from which year car? I have a stock 67 1600- 4 speed.
Thank you all.

You should have a 3.90 in that car. Any of the 2000's had a 3.70 stock. I'd consider doing the 5 speed swap instead of the rear end swap if you want more relaxed hiway cruising.

I'm doing the 5 speed swap, but I do have atleast one good 5-speed rear if your interested. I'm located in PA.

Thanks. I'll probably wait 'till the engine has to come out to think about swaping the tranny. I do have to put new springs on the rear so, I thought I'd try and do the rear end first.
