First step

[/IMG]I took the first step preparing for the new engine in our 52. PO had installed a 9" with 3 to 1 gears, great for the highway but not so great at our elevation. Since I was going to change the ratio for the new engine ( 5.0 Coyote) I decided to do it now. "Belle" now has a new 3.50 to 1 Tru Track center section and new Moser alloy 31 spline axles. When the wife gets home we will have to go for a ride. Guess I now have a center section and axles for the next swap meet.

looks great, I need to look at some highway gears, but still a dana 44 guy or I'd save you a trip to the swap meet.
