The caprice has a293 gear in the rear end plus a 30% od fourth gear. the mercedes car has either a 307 if i use a turbo motor or 346 if i use a non turbo motor. my first blush calculation would be to use a 410 rear for the chebby which I believe is a bolt in for just the pigs head on the rear end. that is for using the chebby tranny. if i swap in the benz tranny the gearing would need to be more close to the 346 i believe if using the turbo motor.
