MT- 82 Gearing Question

[ralph7]

Reading on here that the older mt-82's had gearing that was more advantageous to better 1/4 mile
times. Were these a closer ratio?
Does anyone know why Ford changed to the current configuration?
Maybe better gas mileage?

Edit: I found an earlier thread that answers most of my questions, can't seem to delete this thread.
