Hello there, I'm new to this whole forum thingy so please bear with me.
My brother recently completed a sandrail utilizing an Olds toronado 455 and transaxle.
I understand that there were a number of different front drive motorhomes made with this combo using I believe a 5.13, or something like that, ring and pinion.
With the paddle tires being quite a bit larger than on the car, the stock gearing is way to tall.
How much more difficult is it to change the gearing in the transaxle compared to a normal rearend?
