Flathead to S-10 T-5 --- Gear ratios?

I'm all up to speed on the installation tech. But, what about gear ratios? Everything I've read says to use a V6 ******, but which ratio? There are different ones and some of the V6 ******s have the same ratios as 4cyl.

 

What rearend gear do you have?

As it stands 3.78, but that could change.

 

Im looking at doing this same swap. What bellhousing did you use and how much are they?

 

How close to stock is the engine? A stocker or a hairy cammer will be better off with a low 1st gear as used in a 4 banger or smallest V6. Something in the 255-276 range with stock to decent street cam can use a higher ratio.

What clutch will you be using? I suggest the 10" in any event

 

I have a chart with all the T5 ratios on my site:

Here are links to a couple of pages with T-5 conversion info.

yngrodder, I haven't done it yet but If I do I'm gonna use the Offy Flatty-Chevy bell with Ford linkage. They are $200 new.

emurder, I already have that info, a big thanks goes out to you and kommuter for putting that together.

timebandit, I have that as well, thanks.

286merc, It's pretty much a stocker (.010 over '37 221). I'm gonna put a two carb setup on it. Alot of the 4cyl and small V6's have 4.03 first gears with 2.37 2nd.
