Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / January 2007Interesting
Got the Daytona up on the lift, I was curious about the rear end as it drove so nicely on the freeway - turns out to be a model 27, 3.07. Sure cruises nicely, but I thought they used a 44 with the V8s.  SignatureRemove the Studebaker to email.

With the 259/auto, it sure was a nice driving highway car. >I have seen V8 Larks with the 27 rear end & V8 drums... > >> Got the Daytona up on the lift, I was curious about the rear end as it >> drove so nicely on the freeway - turns out to be a model 27, 3.07.

I installed a 3.07 on my old Lark Custom and used to get 24 mpg on the highway.. JT > The standard rear was a 27, at least with the 259. My '62 ragtop was > originally a 27 with 3.07's in it.

A 3.07 makes a much better highway ratio, but does cut off-the-line performance. I changed my '64 R-2 Avanti automatic from a 3.73 to a 3.07- dramatic improvement in highway cruising, Paul Johnson I have a 3:07 open under my deck, $150. > Are the 3.07's hard to find.

What was it and how well does it work? As much as I want to keep the weight down on my lark I do want to be able to hear when I get out.

It does work well, but it isn't cheap. > Hey Pat, > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >> drove so nicely on the freeway - turns out to be a model 27, 3.07.

Sure >>> cruises nicely, but I thought they used a 44 with the V8s. The Shop manual says my 64 Convertible with 259 V8 used the 27 with 3.07s with 3.73 optional with the 4-spd. The 44 was optional. Mine was built with the 3.07 27 but somewhere along the way a 3.31 44 was installed. It is a non TT rear, but plan on installing a 3.73 TT from Dave Thiebuilt this summer. My 69 CougarXR-7 Convetible 351 4-spd used 3.91s as did my 72 Javelin SST 360 4-spd. 3.73 rears don't bother me and I do like the additional pickup. Geno 64 R2 Avanti 64 Daytona Convertible |
