8.2 Gears

what I was trying to do is to give me more room to play with 4th on the highway. The 5th I have in the transmission is .73 and that gear is relatively easy to change, it comes in .68 and .78 in addition to the .73. Right now with the gears I have at 75 mph I'm at 1,900 rpm so if I got the 2.92 rear I'd change the 5th to .68 and have longer 1 to 4 gears for the city and highway.
another option is to get a 8.5" rear, 2.93 gears are available from lt1 equipped caprice and roadmaster wagons.

thanks but I'm not interested in changing the rear, I like the width of the 8.2 I have. It took me almost a year to find this rear end.
i figured as much. i haven't found any 2.93s listed for the 8.2, will 2.73s work for you?
joe
where did you find the 2.73? I could not find anything taller than the 3.08,....
i can only find them used. i haven't found them new anywhere. i have a set for my 66 wagon that i removed from a '71 chevelle axle.
maybe you could put a slightly taller tire on the rear to get you there instead of changing gears.
