Looking for high speed gears

Quite a regular

I'd like to find a set of Phil Bray's high speed ring and pinion gears which would fit a standard eight, 1932. Specifically a 1932 902.

That or any used, older ring and pinion gear set that would fit the '32 but have a lower ratio (higher speed) than 4.69. I'd be interested in the gears, the differential or an entire rear axle.

Thanks --

We are beginning the process to fabricate new ring gears and pinions for packards and other cars.
We are about 30 days away from having a set for my 833.
If you are interested I can share more details and a better time frame for these new gears

Good morning!
We have just recently gotten the additional axis on our machining center and should be ready to machine our first gears with in the month.
Of course we will be testing tehm in our car prior to offering them for sale, but things are progressing along a bit slower than anticipated, but progress is being made.
Ill be posting more as things develop.

I understand that fitting the new high speed gears involves considerable irreversible modifications to the differential casing.
Its not just a simple matter of swapping the gears as the new pinion is much larger in diameter.
Perhaps someone who is familiar with the work required would explain the work required for the benefit of those who might be contemplating this change

No I don't think that's the case, the ring Gear bolts up in the same holes as the old ring gear, the number of teeth change.
I'll already change gears from 5.08 to 4.38 and the exterior dimensions don't change.

Where the change is within the range of the original ratios it should be fine but what about the ring and pinion sets that were available some time ago with a ratio of about 3.4:1. The pinion for that ratio is larger than any standard Packard pinion and I believe some serious modifications to the housing are required.
