Richmond Gear 5.86 Car Ring and Pinion for GM 8.875" Buick Chevrolet GMC Oldsmobile Pontiac 1964-1973
$405.00

If you’re diving into the world of high-performance drivetrains, you’ve probably heard of Richmond Gear. They’ve been around for ages, and for good reason. I’ve had my hands on their products, and let me tell you, they’re not just for show. These guys are serious about performance. Whether you’re tearing up the streets or hitting the tracks, Richmond Gear has you covered with a lineup that includes everything from robust ring-and-pinion sets to heavy-duty manual transmissions.

Take the Richmond Gear 5.86 Car Ring and Pinion for the GM 8.875” differential, for instance. This isn’t just another part; it’s a game changer. With a gear ratio of 5.38, you’re looking at some serious torque that’ll get you off the line in a hurry. The 43-tooth ring gear is made from 8620 steel, so you know it’s tough enough to take the abuse of high-performance driving. And with a pinion shaft diameter of 1.625 inches and a 30-spline count, this setup is built to handle the power you’re throwing at it.

What I really appreciate about Richmond Gear is their history of success. Their products have been on the winners' podium at events like the Daytona 500 and U.S. Nationals for decades. When you choose Richmond, you’re not just buying parts; you’re investing in a legacy of performance. It’s no wonder they say, “Winners Run Richmond!”

Now, if you’re wondering if this setup fits your ride, here’s the scoop: it’s compatible with a whole range of classic cars. We’re talking about everything from the Buick Centurion (1971-1972) to the Pontiac GTO (1970-1972). That means whether you’re restoring a classic or just want to upgrade your daily driver, there’s a good chance this ring and pinion will fit right in.

So, if you’re serious about getting the most out of your drivetrain, don’t sleep on Richmond Gear. Their products are designed for those who demand performance and reliability. Give your ride the upgrade it deserves and feel the difference on the road.
