nice job on the car. but i would change to 3.55 gears if you want to cruz on the highway at 65-70 mph. thats alot of gear for a little 318 unless your going 1/8th mile racing. at 55 that motor will be around 3800. from the looks of it ,it doesnt look like you have driven yet. good luck with it.

I have driven it a little but not at highway speeds,Not 4.10's, it has 4.56 and the 28" tall tire will offset that a bit and it has a few goodies under the hood and a stall converter and some odds and ends.

although I do agree....it won't be no highway cruiser but thats not what I had planned for it anyhow, just an around town cruiser and It will see some pass's at the local 1/8 mile strip.

When its all done ill put some miles on it and see how I like it but I will most likely at some point drop it down a few sizes because I would like to take it on the highway if I feel the need to without watching my tach bounce around the 4k mark lol
