I have a 48 Buick Roadmaster with the Dynaflow transmission if i remember right the current rear gear ratio is a 4.10. i would like to swap to something to get better gas mileage once i get it on the road. what is the lowest road gear that will swap in? and will anything gear wise from the smaller series work are their rearends the same as the bigger series? im not looking for acceleration so far the lowest i found was a 3.60 from a manual trans 48 Roadmaster .i know i could do a 700r4 swap and use a Chevy truck rearend to keep the 5x5 bolt pattern but that is out of my budget right now and trying to keep the reasonably original drivetrain wise. any help would be appreciated
