In Reply to: help 67 W300 with 4.88s TOO SLOW posted by Dave on Saturday, October 20, 2001 at 9:19PM :
Sounds like you have the 7.50-16 tires, as my W300 (4.88 axels) with original 100,000 mile 318-3 2bbl and 9.00-16 tires would do 65 no problem. Your 318 might be weak, but I'd look at a tire size increase. If you want to use 9.00-16 tires, the rims are hard to find, but you can use M715 rims (only difference is the offset by about 1", makes track about 2" wider) If you want to change the axel ratios its a lot of work, and if you go below 4.56, you have to use a different differential carrier as well (add $200 per axel to charlie's estimate). Thats just the way dana 70 axels are! Rob
