I have 3.08 gears in my Suburban with a 270 and a 4-speed. Great unless I try to pull a loaded trailer.
I have a 2.29 rear out of a Monte Carlo that was a 305/350 combo. That car weighed about the same as my '54 Chevy pickup. Though it sure wasn't a race car, the car performed fine. The rear and possibly engine transmission may go in my '54.
