1934 Ford V8 rearend.

I have a beautiful 1934 Ford 5W coupe, but it is a pain because of the rear end ring gear and pinion ratio.
Did Fords do a 3.54 ratio that could be installed? was there a 3.54 ratio from another year that I can install the whole centre section into my axle?
Does anyone have a solution to my problem.
Dont want to use this as a wanted ad, but if anyone has the parts I would be interested in buying them.
Thanks.

 

If Ford did a 3:54 in 34 it's very rare.

You can install a later R&P into your center with machine work. But they are kinda rare as well. The whole later center won't bolt into your rear.

Joblot has a repro 3:54 R&P to bolt into your center, but it's expensive.

 

Is that Steve? I'll check tonight but I'm sure I have a 3.54 ring & pinion for the early V8 banjos. Most stock Ford ones are 4.11 I think - this is an aftermarket one from Nordian.

 

Thanks Rem, answered your email, will yuou be going to the swapmeet?
