I Need help! I am a newby. I need to know where to find the gear ratio for first and second gear for a 28 Ford coupe.
Part 2: Has anybody used clings bell housing conversion to V8 trans? Thanks in advance for any help!

Just see how many turns it takes on the input shaft, to turn the output shaft 1 turn, in each gear.

Hi BRU and welcome! If I remember correctly 1st gear is in the 3.00 range and 2nd in the 2.00 range with 3rd 1 to 1.

I have two of Cling's adapters in use. All of Cling's stuff is well-made and everything fits nicely. Dennis is a retired machinist and his products reflect his background.
