I have a stock type posi in my 8.2 rearend. The gears on it now are 2.98 I think(41/14). What is the lowest gear ratio I can fit on that carrier? I would like to have a 3.23 if it would fit. If so does anyone have one they would sell. Thanks

I have a set of 3.55 gears (I think). I can confirm when I get home if you are interested.

don't think the 3.55 will work with goatroper's carrier. BOP had three different carriers in the 8.2 I believe, the following geer ratios for each...2.76 & down / 2.94 to 3.23 / 3.31 & up.

Ah, I was always confused on the carriers. Well, anyone else need 'em?

Yea a 323 is as much as you can go with that carrier.

NO. Check your GTOI Resto guide or 68 Pontiac service manual. Mike Lemley

If your going to get a posi, thats a different carrier than the open you have now, so get the one for the gears you want.

I was mistaken. They are 3.36 gears.
 75 bucks plus shipping. They weighed in at 11 lbs.

You're in luck if you can scrounge up a goood set of used 3.23s. 2-series carrier - 2.56 & 2.78 gears 3-series carrier - 2.93, 3.08 & 3.23 gears. 4-series carrier - 3.36, 3.55, 3.90 & 4.33 gears (these are stock ratios, the aftermarket covers some in-between ratios)
