Does anyone know what ratio's where used in 5TH geration elky's? I have found 7 parts cars here locally and was wondering if maybe a better rear gear is in any of them.. Any numbers to look for?

Generally speaking, there were four rear end ratios available for the 5th generation.

2.41 V8 standard rear
2.56 V6 standard rear
2.73 V6 optional rear (G92)
3.08 V8 optional rear (G92)

All were available with optional posi (G80)

The 350 diesel engine Elkys all had a 2.29 rear
