If I use 1" addapters, I can mount 275/40-17 and 315/35-17 tires on 17x9.5 and 17x11 Corvette wheels with over 7" of backspacing, onto a 740's 60" 1031 rear axle and attach the whole assembly to my 1800's control arms, and tuck this under my existing rear flares.

Does anybody know which rear end ratios came in the 740's 1031 axle?

I think that the 740 turbo automatic had 3.91:1, but this might be too short.

3.73's would be nice.

Did the B280 V6's come with the 1031, and if so, what ratios would they have?

Has anybody seen any for sale? Near North Dakota? With limited slip diff?

Any info would be appreciated, and if anybody knows, Wikipedia has a lot of missing data under the various Volvo models and it looks like anybody can submit data, right or wrong.

Thank, James
