just looking for some input based on experience.
I am on the bubble between 3.55 and 3.91
The car: 1963 Plymouth valiant wagon
The engine: 1970 225 slant six with a shaved head (.080) Clifford header and aluminum 4 bbl. intake. 4bbl. 390 cfm Holley. (unknown cam)
Trans: 1964 4 speed with 3.09 low gear (it's a ball and trunion)
rear end: 7.25 with undetermined gears ( the point of this discussion)
The application: fishing wagon, cruiser, for sure not a race car. A car with some very good "pickup" on the highway and feels like a very "torquey" tire fryer
Other factor: I DO NOT care about gas mileage. I believe gas is very cheap in America and I will pay to have fun, so gas mileage is not a concern. However I don't really want to be blasting 6k on the highway at 65 MPH either
what are some ideas?
