Hi all, cross posting this from the other site, no replies. So gonna see if I get some here.
I have a '74 Cherokee that I want to do an engine/transmission swap on. I want to install a slightly warmed over SBC 383 and a 700R4. The T/C is a QuadraTrac with low range. I'm running 35's on my stock 44's. I'm also planning on adding one piece axles and a disc brake conversion on the rear. I figure while I'm in there I might as well add a locker. Since I'm adding the locker, I'm wondering what would be a good gear ratio to run. I think I have 3.54's installed, not sure and I'm not in a position to verify ATM. Most driving will be on road. I want to tow occasionally (<5,000 lbs) with it and do some wheeling. Nothing extreme, live in Northern Idaho, so some logging trails and back roads in and around the bordering states and might want to hit Moab sometime in the future.
TIA
