"low dollar 318 hop up" - mission accomplished

Ok, this car has been sitting in storage, pulled out once and taken straight to the track this year, then back in storage. I have a B-body rear end for it waiting to be installed, and I'd like to throw some gears into it just to see what it will do. In fact, I have the housing, axles, backing plates, shock plates, and ordered green bearings and gaskets/vent tube from Dr. Diff. All I have right now is 2.94's in a 741. I need to buy U-bolts and get a shorter drive shaft..... and get some gears... 3.55? 3.91? 4.30? anything I come across that is cheap... LOL
3.91's would be neat on the street!!:steering::D
