Does anyone know the gear ratio for a 1980 scout w/ dana 44s, a 345v8, Torqueflight 727 auto, and dana 300 "texas" transfer case. I would think they would all be the same with this set up Thanks in advance.

Chief yelling alot 10-09-2003, 04:32 PM they used so many reatios that info wount tell you exactly but I wont be surprized if it was 3.07 BigBlueWrangler 10-09-2003, 04:36 PM dang, I was hoping for the 3.73s. Maybe it is a possiblity still. I will keep my faith alive!! ChiScouter 10-09-2003, 06:12 PM 2.72, 3.31, 3.54, 3.73, 4.09, could be any of these John Tabor 10-09-2003, 07:05 PM look for the diff tag, or spin the drive shaft count wheel revs. Scout8hundred 10-09-2003, 07:12 PM You could pull the diff cover and find the ratio stamped on the ring gear. You could also count the teeth and do a little dividing. Mechanos 10-09-2003, 08:01 PM My 1980 with 196/T19/D300 came with 3.73s but my 1980 with 345/727/D20 came with 2.72s. They were doing everything they could to keep fuel milage up by that time (trying to keep the light line alive a little longer) so it's likely to have shit for gears if it's still stock.

I'm 99% sure that 3:31's weren't a factory avaliable gear ratio at by 1980... they stopped offering them around '74ish... and went to 3.54's but I could be mistaken, it is IH after all :D BigBlueWrangler 10-13-2003, 09:10 PM so you think 3.54 is an option!!! I sure hope so, i'm gonna hate regearing 2.72s that's for sure. JaccDaRipper 10-14-2003, 06:33 AM Originally posted by RustoleumWhite I think somone swapped those in.
