<div dir="ltr">Ryan,<div><br></div><div>You only need the Differential which goes inside the pumpkin and rear axle. As Derf said you want one that has 10/39 on the top of the differential case but check yours first to see which you have now! There were at least 3 available. Early cars were 4.22 to 1, then there is 3.9 to 1 and the shorter 4.22 to 1. The 4.22 is great for autocross - the taller geared 3.77 for highway use. As was noted, the taller gears are getting hard to find and usually demand a suitable hunk of cash.</div><div><br></div><div>If you find a 3.9 or 3.77 that's inside a rear axle case and the seller won't part it out, buy the whole thing. You'll need help picking it up!!

Any Spridget diff chunk should fit in your rear housing. Just drop the drive shaft, pop the axles out, and swap the chunk. Diff ratios are stamped on top of the chunk. "10/39" is 3.9. IIRC "9/38" is what you would have on your 4.22.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, May 10, 2015 at 5:59 AM, ryan.kubanoff--- via Spridgets <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:spridgets@autox.team.net" target="_blank">spridgets@autox.team.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;color:#000000"><div>So i have a 74 midget with a 1275, rib case, and a stock rear that will do 70+ on a highway no problem. Last year I bought a 60 bugeye that was modiifed by the previous owner to have a 998 cc motor, rib case and a stock bugeye rear. It has more trouble with highway speeds. Could I swap out the stock bugeye rear for a late model midgets? Would that improve performance?</div><div>Thanks</div><span><span color="#888888" style="color:#888888"><div>Ryan</div></span></span></div></div><br>------------------------<br>
