Paul,

M23Z gear ratios are... 2.99:1 – 2.04:1 – 1.47:1 – 1.00.

M20 gear ratios are...2.52, 1.88, 1.46, 1.00

Take off feel will be like 5:09 first gear with the 302...3:73 and my G70 X 14 GoodYears.

Not a race car...street car and much safer, so yes...it may not be up to race car standards

but is a safe car now. Tough to have all the right combinations...don't want to drive around

with 4:88's in the rear. Good for racing but not for a street car. The 302 will do fine with the

M23Z Much stronger/better trans then I had. The 302 never liked the 3:73 with the M20

trans when I took the 4:11's out, but I hope that the M23Z & cross ram will be a better

combo.What I did was best I could with the combination I wanted. It will work just fine

Paul. I did not want the best or the fastest car on the street anymore. Driving to the Grove

is feasible now with the 3:73. One tank of racing gas gets me there and back.

Dave-If you put race gas, a dual disc, and a 12 lb fly-wheel, with all your other parts, then it’s a race car. I found the safest, and easiest way to transport a car is with a trailer. When Paul was younger, we trailer-ed his car and now he trailers my car. You have a new truck that should pull the trailer with no problem and you will be safe. Good luck with your race car. Paul
