I had a 64 1/2 Barracuda, and 2 65 Formula S cars at one time or another and as I recall, you couldn't get a ring and pinion over a 3:23 in it because the case was so small 7 1/4 I think. Does anyone know the gear ratio the D cars came with?
Chrysler offered a 3.91 for the 7.25 rear axle.
I had several 65 and 66 273 Formula S Barracuda's and installed them in every one several times.
Untill I got tired of breaking them and finally put a 8.75 from a wrecked 67 383 Dart.
Also all A bodies from 64 thru 69 had 4 inch bolt circle hubs.
