Im in the middle of a diesel swap and am looking for tall gears for my 7.5 rear. I have a 2.56 set, but if you have something taller let me know.

thanks in advance

That's probably the lowest numerical gear you can get for the 7.5" 10 bolt

I found a 2.29 ($175) and a 2.14 ($275) on ebay. I figured someone here may have one more reasonably priced that's just laying around from a gear swap on an old axle. I've seen pictures of a 2.09, but have no idea what it was put in originally.

I prolly got this used

Samsampson

Used is all I can find, if you have something you want to make some money off of that's collecting dust let me know.

You can get a 2.14 from a G body. There was one available on gbody forum.

Diesel swap huh? is there a build thread or sth, let me know thx

Samsampson

Got one ordered from a member here! I dont have a buildup on it yet, but so far I'm pulling the 700r4 and putting in a 200-4r from my 1983 delta 88 diesel.
It's a 86 trans am, the 305 is gone.
The 6.2 has diamond pre cups that I'll ceramic coat, not so much for performance, but to compensate for the Chinese metallurgy. .010 over head gaskets and a spare 7.3 super duty turbo I have laying around. The pedestal mount style will make changing parts in it easy, and there are plenty of housings and compressor wheels to choose from.
Still pricing out the 200-4r rebuild. Not quite as cheap as the ole 700, that's for sure. I'd like a reverse pattern manual valve body that retains the TV. I'll start a build up when I get this axle, trans and engine assembled. I'm pretty stoked!
