top loader gear ratios
Does anyone know the gear ratios for the dearborn 3 speed aka top-loader. I have yet to see a 3 speed manual in another b body car.

I have one sitting on the floor in my garage. Came out of a 65 2+2, I think. Why not check a Furd car forum?

Another 2+2 with a 3 speed. That would make at least 2. Mine has the 421 HO. I guess the 4sp were not strong enough and broke to much. Any thoughts. Would the 3 be faster than the 4? My car has 3.73 gear ratio. Would the ratio's with the 3sp work better than the 4sp. Just trying to get an idea why the person who ordered this car chose the 3sp over the 4sp.
Thanks. See if I can google top loader. |

I think the 3 speed was standard with the 4 speed optional.
Plus the 3 speed being cast iron probably held up better to all that weight and torque.
