I am having my new to me early '77 model Eleganza II with a 455 worked on at Cooperative Motor Works and now is the time to change the final drive gear if I want to. I will be towing a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited a fair amount so I think I need to change the gear ratio. I live in the Dallas Texas area and have a house in Orlando, both pretty flat areas. However, I do plan to make trips to the Ouchita and Ozark mountains (more like tall hills) in Arkansas and the hill country in Texas. I will also be driving between Dallas and Orlando some. I prefer to cruse at least at 60MPH and preferably around 65MPH if I can.
Thoughts and suggestions on 3.55 or 3.70 final drive gear?
TIA
Ross
