Ok I pulled the center section out of FURYIOUS today. I told you guys I counted & divided the teeth to come to a 3.08 ratio. Everyone said no such thing in a 8 3/4. Ok I count 42 ring gear teeth & 13 pinion teeth & my math skills shows that to be a 3.09
 
There also wasn't a 3.73 rear gear offered by Chrysler either but I have one thanks to the aftermarket.
 
My 1965 Belvedere slant 6 with a 3 on the tree had 3.31 741 case.
Got a 58 Dodge truck with a 657 case. It has 3.58 gears. Couple of odd balls.
 
In the late 50s there were some oddball ratios available. I read somewhere that for the 300 they went up to 6.17. Dealer parts, presumably.
