Years ago, Steve Magnante did a Dana/8.75 swap at the track. Same day to eliminate variables. Car was .10 quicker with 8.75. Think the car was called the flying anvil, HEMI Dart with Torqueflite. I can't afford enough power to break an 8.75.
I'll only use the splitter for a couple scenarios. In " unsupervised acceleration trials", 3rd gear cruising in town, and 65+ mph hiway cruising.
The Passon gearset DOES look good. Can you inagine THAT with the GV ? Oh, Baby that's what I like !
I've driven enough 3 speeds to remember the gear spread on both the 1-2, & 2-3 shifts leave a lot to be desired. Thats why I called it a 3 speed. I'm losing a gear that route.
I don't want a 3 speed. And that us what you end up with. Plus O.D. In addition, you can't split gears, should you want to. I guess under acceleration from a dead stop, you run first up to redline, flip the switch & run 1st over up to redline, then grab 2nd (still in over), run it up, then grab...
Well, just got off the phone with gearvendors techline. I have good news, & bad news.

Does anybody here have a gearvendor 833 combo ? I need to get specs/measurements of the adaptor. Gearvendors will not sell them seperately & I have found a used od without an adaptor. So I need to copy one. Have a machinist lined up to make one, but he needs specs. HELP ! Thanks, Don.
I change the RR, but let Dodge dealer do the wife's Jeep & my diesel Ram.Jeep has lifetime powertrain warranty, & I want documentation LOFs were done religiously. They do the Diesel for $54 & wash it too. 11 qts of oil,a filter, lube chassis & wash for $54 ? No worries !
You guys have never owned a Ford escort, have you ? LOL. Every one of those 80s 4 poppers would look like that when you popped a valve cover, or pulled a dipstick. I always thought the aluminum head has something to do with it.
I met a guy years ago who had MS. He was a shootin fool. Some of his friends built attachments to his wheelchair to let him shooting his favorite rifle. Keep enjoying the car as long as you like. I bet your Dr. Would consider it therapeutic.
