thanks allot Dave for your detailed answer. i don't have the trans or 3.08's in the car yet. and i guess i can put the trans in with the current 3.45's and feel it out. the trans i'm hopefully getting is out of a 89 s10 4cyl so 1st gear is a 4.03 and the O.D a .86 which according to the calculator would put me at 67mph with the 3.45's or 75mph with the 3.08's at 2,500rpms. so i'm guessing somewhere in the neighboorhood of 2,000-2,400 would be a good cruising rpm range?!
i plan on putting a 3x1 intake/carb setup, with dual headers and maybe a hotter cam into this 235 sometime in the near future. everything else is bone stock and rebuilt/being rebuilt. the motor is .40 over.
and yes florida is as flat as it gets, and i don't plan on towing anything.
