Re: Will my cobra outdrive fit a v8?
I have a cobra outdrive model#986032 4.3L will this work on a v8 if so would I have to change anything?
Thanks CHEVY
Your 4.3 final drive ratio is 1.68:1
5.0 final drive ratio is 1.59:1
The gearing is done through the upper section of the drive, the gears are the same in the lower sections.
I'll bet theres a ton of people that have done that swap, with the right prop you may get it in the peak opereating range, I don't know anyone that has first hand experience but I would do it if thats all I had.
