Um...

The ring gear is 7.5", and the gear ratio is 3.08:1 :hick:

What other specs do you need?

That's the logic :shakehead  at FoMoCo, but I guess it makes for a good reason to swap in an 8.8 rear.

why do they do  like that


1.)  It's cheaper to produce and assemble than a Trak-Lok

2.)  The average buyer of these cars when they were new probably did not care (especially if they purchased a V6.)
