Re: 354 Ring an Pinion
I ran a very stock 1930 coupe, with 3.78 gears, in the 1960's all over California. I drove at 50 to 55. I got passed by the trucks on the flats but passed the same trucks on grades. Going down grades I just kicked it out of gear.
The gearing depends on where you drive, flats or hills, if you take the interstate or back roads, and how much torque your engine can deliver. The overdrive is the way to go as it provides you both the performance on hills and flats.
