What cars have a bolt in better ratio power box? Not necessarily f41 spec but better than stock. Or part number for new/reman.

You can try Rock Auto for part numbers. For example; Look up 1988 Monte Carlo SS, 1989 Pontiac Trans Am, etc. Just keep in mind non G body boxes will have different internal stops which can cause differences in the turning radius

No but it gets tedious having to find gm part numbers and verify that the gm part number is in fact that of a quick ratio box, then finding a replacement part number assuming it is the correct part and there was no error in any of the listings. Because i have done the "just buy it for this vehicle!" and gotten bit in the *ss. I just figured maybe somebody had done the swap recently and could pull up an online invoice showing the part number and brand but i apologize for trying to seek redundant verification of part numbers.

Thanks for the assistance!

It's gonna be part of a mass upgrading. Balljoints, bushings, tie rods, jeep shaft, etc.
