You are pretty close to the specs on my '40. I am running a 327 bored 060 over, cam, roller rockers, headers, with a TH350 trans and 3:42 rear gear in a 55 Chevy rear-end ( Posi ). At 70 mph she is turing about 2,600 / 2,700 rpm which is a little high. 3:73 is gonna be noisy on the highway, but great at a stoplight ! The 700R4 is a nice setup with the overdrive bringing the rev's down nicely. My steering column is from a '78 Chevy van ( tilt style which is nice in the tight cab ) I have a M2 front end with 2" drop spindles, power rack, and 9" Granada rotors with a Chevy bolt pattern, GM metric calipers. Rear brakes are 55 Chevy drum type.
